1912-1913 crossing target or tilting target signal

'This was a joint effort to get this to work by both of us: Seniorchief: Damon (The Rocker) and scripting and direction from Pweiser. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The crossing target, or tilting target was invented on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago before 1875 and became very common in the Midwest. It is not a 'target', of course, though that inappropriate name became usual, but a semaphore by day and a position-light signal by night. The night aspects are displayed by lamps hung from the ends of the bar. These lamps could be raised and lowered from the ground without climbing a ladder. The color of the lamps is unimportant. Two aspects were usually used, as shown, though a third aspect with the bar vertical was also possible and sometimes used. The signal was erected in the angle between the lines so it could be seen from each. It had the great advantage that when movement was allowed on one line, it was automatically forbidden on the other. Timetable special instructions specified the interpretation of the aspects. Like the ball signal, it was usually operated by the telegraph operator at the station'
