I found these today behind some apartment buildings in Cape Girardeau. Could they be Frisco in origin? If I had not been working I would have dug the semaphore blade out of the dirt. Maybe some other time.
Jim,these are at the Collegewood apts. on N.Sprigg. They ARE Frisco off of the River Division. I'm hoping to dig around a little and see how much is buried there.
Since Tim let the cat out of the bag, I recognized the semaphore blade as possibly being from the semaphore that sat on the west side of the tracks, just south of the bridge in Cape: http://www.frisco.org/shipit/index.php?attachments/slsf-main-north-at-cape-bridge-jpg.12326/
Neat find, Tim. Did you ever see J.C. Eastwood's house out by the lake? I'm not sure if it's still there, but I always admired the semaphore at the end of his driveway. Best Regards,
