A setup that is no more

[silverback1065]

I always enjoy to see intersections that are no more (regarding their original setup) in photographs, especially if I saw them in person many years ago.

In the late 1990s, as I remember, I occasionally visited the Rockaways in Queens, N.Y., and I saw various two-section (red and green) traffic signals still in service in some areas there. One intersection I remember had a two-way Marbelite cluster suspended from a mast-arm/guy wire setup. It was the only one at the intersection, while the others were mounted on poles, which was typical for those traffic signals in particular. A rather rare sight.

Years later, I looked high and low for a photograph of the intersection, since I was eager to see this old setup once again. I was unsuccessful for sometime, but I was fortunate in recent months, and one was provided to me by a fellow collector and enthusiast from Pennsylvania (many thanks). He visited the Rockaways in the Summer of 2004 and took a picture of the intersection.

Wow that's the most interesting traffic signal I've seen.  That would be so confusing if I saw that on the road.

How about consistency? For the colourblind?

As long as they stay away from Tipperary Hill in Syracuse NY, no problem.

Is that real?  Where is it?

Oops he did say that I looked at the picture without reading the caption

Is the middle light yellow or white? I can't tell

Yellow.

O OK. New York seems to have a lot of weird traffic lights. I believe there's still a dummy traffic (think that's what they were called) signal at an intersection in one of the northern cities.
