I've posted an interesting picture to my web site. It is a Circa late
1920's or early 1930's picture of workers cleaning up following a
flood, from a negative I purchased a few years ago. In the view, there
is a lower quadrant semaphore with rectangular blade, dark with light
stripe, perhaps red/white (I have another negative of the same signal
that was ruined by mold, but shows the entire signal mast and blade).
The location is unknown, but I presume it to be somewhere on the CB&Q
because the other negatives in the collection are of CB&Q subjects, and
appear to have been taken by a CB&Q employee. The signal is marked
N245.1, which I presume to be a mile number. Can any of you confirm
that it is a Burlington signal, and help with identifying it? The
image is on my home page at:

Clicking on the image will bring up an enlarged version.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards, Rob
