UPRR Retired Signal WRRS Terminal With Dead-ends
A dark and stark outline against the sky, this relic with its double dead-end arms, c-type deadends, and iron WRRS five pair terminal, is seen near the Kansas-Colorado border. This particular terminal pole served to access railway signalling for centralized track control. Upper arms allowed voice frequency communications between stations.
