So, "yes" the train order semaphore (even if it isn't operating) should be included as long as it remains in its original placement and form.
I would say that museum pieces removed from their original railroad context (for example setup in a trackside park as displays) shouldn't be included. The whole point of the thread was to discuss instances of wayside equipment still in place from their original wayside use.
So there we have it ... Train order semaphores at Durham, NH which are indeed still in place (as is the hardware to operate them inside). Makes me wonder how many other instances of these occur in New England. There really aren't many of these left at all especially not on routes that Amtrak operates.
