Description:  Knowing the end was in sight for the old searchlights and even though the cut-over might not be for a while yet, I wanted to get some late evening/nights shots before the new signals were installed. Heres a pic of an EB the night before.

Title:  Changing Signals at Bliss, Idaho
Description:  No longer are they pouring concrete bases and waiting for it to set-up to install the signals. They either drive the new bases into the ground or when driving isn't an option like in this scene due to Lavarock just a few feet below the surface, they have bases they can just dig a hole, set and cover up.
