Does anyone know what type of signals the Reading Railroad used?

Thanks,

You may find some info HERE or at The Reading Company Technical & Historical Society. Here’s a photo of a Reading disc signal, although they may have used other types, too.

When in doubt, remember that google is your friend - that’s how I found the links which I’ve included. [swg]

They used Hall Signals (“banjo” signals) in a lot of places.

More modern signals had up to 3 colors in an triangle on each head, yellow and green on the top and red in the center below.
