RE: (erielack) DL&W single-bulb signals

There is the remains of an identical signal bridge just south of the Mrytle
St crossing, used to watch it as a kid when I was at my grandmothers house
on the corner. Sam Weibel...

  Hi all,

  I just looked at this wonderful YouTube video of the restored DL&W F3s:

 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM53Ya_yF6Y<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM
53Ya_yF6Y>

  At about 1:45 into the video, the F3s pass under a signal bridge at
Moscow.
  There are two signal heads on the signal bridge: A standard double-bulb
  signal, and what looks like a searchlight-style head beneath it. Note the
  different colors of the targets - was that single bulb target an EL or
  Conrail change? Or did the Lackawanna actually use these?

  Thanks,

  - Paul
