RE: (erielack) DL&W Signal

["Schuyler Larrabee" <schuyler.larrabee_@_verizon.net>]

I didn't have much time to look at this before, but I agree that the circle is a telephone symbol.
The crossbar of the "T" is pretty thin, and therefore faint.

But, these are lower quadrant signals, interesting in itself.  But even more, the (presumably) green
lens in the upper signal's spectacle is . . . missing?  Clear?  And in the lower signal's spectacle,
two are blanked?  So it would only be able to display red/stop?

Plus the dwarf.  Interesting signal . .  .
