Does anyone know which company manufactured the semaphores used by the ACL to signal its mainline? US&S or GRS? Thanks in advance.

The Searchlight Signals, Power Switch Machines, & CTC Maachine at Rocky Mount for the Richmond Division were USD&S. The ATS Inductors on the ground and the Receivers and MG Sets on the locomotives were GRS.l

I worked in the signal department 1960 to 1963. I believe the ABS signals between Jacksonville and Sanford were US&S, Style-S.

Information based on dimming memory. :)
