Anyone know when the PRR position light signals replaced the semaphore signals after 1940?
The name of the business at the far left?
Thank you.

The semaphore signals are in place in this 12/20/1940 blueprint:The symbols on the blueprint are the standard symbols for PRR position-light signals and show aspects not possible on semaphores, so the PLs must have been in service on 12/20/40. Also, almost all PRR signals were by Union Switch & Signal of Swissvale, PA (Pittsburgh),while this installation is by General Railway Signal of Syracuse, NY (and we all know what railroad served Syracuse!), and the switch and signal numbering is not in accord with US&S practice. (Very unusual -- I was told that the PRR used GRS for Bryn Mawr interlocking as an experiment but they stuck with US&S.)
Sometime after replaced by position light signals, anyone?
