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

[Ed Montgomery <etmontgomery46_@_gmail.com>]

To my knowledge, DL&W did not use searchlight signals.  I suspect this
signal aspect did not need a second lamp in the home position so they didn't
put up a fixture capable of handling two lamps.  I've seen this as well at
other locations along the Lackawanna.  I suspect the signal department did a
lot of creative signalling with the resources they had.
