I remember PRR-style position light signals at New South Rd. crossing in Hicksville, through the 1980's, when I was new to L.I. train-watching. At the crossing, the signal controlling eastbound movement was just east of the crossing, the aspects quite visible when you crossed. As I recall, it always displayed the vertical "proceed" aspect. I guess it would display the horizontal "stop" aspect when a train passed. Anybody else remember this signal location? Could this signal also display the diagonal "approach," aspect, too? The signal controlling westbound traffic was directly across the tracks opposite it's E/B counterpart. When were these signals removed and why? Also, on the westbound track, when the LIRR freight was servicing Ruco Polymer-nee Hooker Chemicals and also Inland Plastics just west of the crossing, what aspect would the westbound signal display ??? Thanks.
