Favorite traffic signal manufacturer

[traffic light guy]

Mine personally is Eagle, since it has the most original signal designs and its been in service from the 1930s to 2000s, too bad they discontinued a few years ago and got taken over by Siemens.

Eagle is still around, actually. Siemens recently sold Eagle to Brown Traffic Products.

Also, the poll is missing a few companies, such as Singer, TSI, Sargent Sowell, Teeco (the last manufacturer of 4-ways in the US), Darley, T-con, Kentron, Krossgard, Intelight, Optisoft, ICC, McCain, Winkomatic, Peek, TCT, Chapel Hill, Walker Brothers, GTE, and A1 - just to name a few...

I've always been a Marbelite guy. Behind it, my second favorite company is General Traffic Equipment (aka GTE).

The older models of Eagle flatbacks.

Swarco and the older Nordic companies it absorbed.

My thoughts exactly.  Kentrons are my favorite.  For those keeping track, Kentron ended up being acquired by T/Con (TrafCon?), and their molds ended up being acquired by Econolite (at least their poly molds).  Something like that anyway...

I have always had a soft spot for the GE Streamline signals of the 50s.

Another what of my favorites would be the Crouse-Hinds Model Rs and Marbelite Flattops from the 1970s (my favorite decade in traffic signal history) . My least favorite is boring lame McCain.

Whomever made this one:


Eagle? McCain? Econolite? Yeah, I know, some will say it's too modern and boring, but there's something I like about the clean lines, the flat/angled sides and back, as well as the shape to the cutaway visor. Despite having many manufacturers on their approved vendor listing, this signal seemed to be virtually exclusively used by WisDOT through the late 90s/early 2000s.

Looks like a McCain.  I do like their polycarbonate signals, especially the 8" ones.
