To all DL&W Signal Specialists:

Attached is a photo of a DL&W signal on the Buffalo City Line. Henry yesterday helped me ID this location. In the distance is DM Tower, where the Pennsy crosses the DL&W at grade. We are looking west on the DL&W. The bridge is the LV's line to their downtown depot on Main St in Buffalo. I believe the photo is from the early/mid 50's. Photographer is unknown, although I believe it is a Dick Ganger photo.

My questions are:

What does the dwarf semaphore blade at the bottom represent?

What is the function of the round meter (clock?) on the signal?
