Hi Tom.  This might be a situation that is covered in the Consolidated Code 
signal section.  The edition of 1980 pages 98 and 99, shows this situation 
where the signal on the bracket could be for a signal for the 1st track left on 
the track that the signal if by.  There was one of these at Alpha and also one 
at Hannibal.  Those were the only 2 I was aware of.  This was done when there 
was not sufficient room to mount the signal between the tracks because of wide 
loads clearance problems.  Bud Linroth

       I ran across this photo on
 railpictures.net from 
 http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=447896
 
 Very
 interesting signal. Appears to be standard Q searchlight
 signal with the spiked filial and lower signal head for
 diverging. You can see the car is sitting at a switch. My
 first guess was that the switch is the connection from the Q
 to the MILW. But I also
 found the location of the signal interesting. It is up
 around the frog of the switch. The hyrail appears to be
 actually beyond the switch points. I would have thought the
 signal would be located before the switch points so there is
 no chance of a crew fouling the switch points. I have not
 had time to go back and search the track diagram for this
 interlocking, but my guess is that the signal protecting
 another switch just to left of the the photo, as well as the
 diamond. Is this the case?
 Interesting view for the low
 location of the lower diverging signal head. Of course, most
 interesting is the second short mast. What is it for? Is
 that a small lunar signal mounted on it or something
 else?
