Tony's Traffic Light Site

Another update. I've gotten really bad with this. It was a rough spring and summer this year. Busy at work, dealing with my dad's estate and having a knee operation. Fall is here now and time for a quick update on things. I've had this Crouse Hinds neon pedestrian signal for a long time. Over... Continue Reading →

My name is Tony. I live in Westmoreland (Rome) New York and have lived in the Utica/Rome area pretty much most of my life. I have loved traffic lights since I was a kid. Always liked looking at them and amazed at how they work. Growing up in Central New York near Utica, I had... Continue Reading →

Hey there. Remember me? Yeah it's been a while since I last updated this. There's been quite a few upgrades/finds/stuff since I last promised an update. Picked up this Crouse Hinds 4 way signal September 2022. Had to drive to Connecticut to get it, but that was ok since I was driving there for something... Continue Reading →

Been quite a while since I last updated this site. Hopefully 2022 eventually get's better. 2021 sure was another crappy year for my signal collecting efforts. The pandemic is still taking its toll on my business. Got better toward the end of 2021, but who the heck knows what will happen. Anyway, my signal collecting... Continue Reading →

My span wire setup in the back yard had some issues over the winter. Last summer we fixed it all up, poles were straight, signals were high enough off the ground that I could mow under them. But this spring, the screw in the ground anchors came most of the way out of the ground... Continue Reading →

So, it's finally Springs 2021. Well, not weather wise but on the calendar it is. Nothing really new as far as signal collecting. It's still brutally slow at work, so that means there's no signal collection money available. Though, it is finally getting busier at work with things opening up here finally. Plus, old signals...

Hello 2021. Been a long time in between posts. With the pandemic affecting my business, signal hording has come to a screeching halt. A couple things here and there, but for the most part, I'm not even looking for anything. Sucks but what can I do. Anyway............. A couple of wild Utica Snow Emergency Lights...

I picked up another Crouse Hinds PCN-100 Traffic Signal Controller a month or so back. Here it is having it's first hug in a long time. This is another from Utica New York. My favorite place to get them from as you probably already know. There were upwards of 50 of these on the streets... Continue Reading →

I'm still here. Been a while since my last updates.Got some new mechanical controllers to write about. 1 new one and another that's been sitting in the basement for a couple of years. Got some new parts for it and it's humming once again. I'll make the time soon to get a writeup for them... Continue Reading →

In early August I had some fellow signal enthusiasts up for a visit and we cruised around town staring up in the sky looking at traffic lights. This is part 2 of what we saw in Utica, New York. There is a lot of cool signals still around. They're cool if you're a fan of... Continue Reading →
