Lights and Traffic signals etc.
« on: June 17, 2013, 06:31:11 AM »


There are lots of lights here. If I see a crew worker I might ask him for one or two. :)

The Model 25 was missing its lens and so was the OV-25.

Interesting, I think I see a R47 and some AEL 125s too. Happen to find any B2227/R37s too?

Hope you can get a couple fixtures, since there are also signals in the pile I think you should try contacting Guild Electric as they specifically deal with signals in Brampton.

There is 1 R37, no B2227's I don't recall ever seeing a B2227. I know of 2 Westinghouses in the pile too.

the B2227 and R37 are the same thing. the newer ones were called the R37 while the older ones were the B2227. I'd snag some of those nice PCs!

Yeah the B2277 became the R37 in the 80s when the nameplates changed to say Sylvania instead of Powerlite.

Those grey PCs look like they might be Lumatrol electronic ones as my R47 and B2255 came with them.

The one with the white paint is the one i want. It's the Model 25, the only thing is that its missing its lens. I remember exactly where all those lights were before they ended up there. I wanna get one but I never see a crew line worker whenever I walk by.  :-\ :(

Yeah, most lights used in Canada are bare which weathers to a dark silvery grey colour over time but the Model 25 looks like it would have been painted light grey originally.

I always thought it was white coating.

I have gone by this again. I identified only one R37 there. Most of those are R47's AEL125's, Westinghouse OV-15's,Cooper OVZ, and Cooper OVX's.

The only intersection I know of in Brampton with CGE ped signals with timers on them. All the ped signals are CGE at this intersection, No Fortran or Eagle Durasig. Also I think this might be one of the oldest intersections still up today.

High Masts. These are original to the highway. (Williams parkway and 410)
NOTE The Hubbell RLC's on the left (blurry) and 2 on the right.

Shoebox lights. These are my favourite by Sylvania lights. Not many left around here but its nice to see them still in use.

Cool pics, I didn't know Brampton also converted the CGE peds to countdown like Toronto did too.

The CGE peds had at least 3-4 different variations in the design too. The first one (1950-1960?) had a smooth top and bottom and a GE logo centred on the back. The 2nd type (1970s) had a bumpy top and bottom and the GE logo on the back was moved closer to the top. Also the text "Made in Canada" was added too.

The 3rd type (1980s) looked like the 2nd type but the GE logo was replaced with the CGE logo in a rectangular box. The 4th type was made by Fortran so it had a Fortran logo on the back but it still looked the same as the other CGEs.


On the stretch with the highmasts, I wonder if MTO is considering widening it, I think it gets pretty congested during rush hour.


The shoeboxes are quite rarely used as streetlights in the GTA too, I think Erin Mills near the 403, and North York near the Yonge/Sheppard and Yonge/Finch area are the only other places that still have them.
