Also, the crossing signals on South Airport (the crossing on the Grawn branch, not the main into TC South Airport crossing) looks to have new LED light-heads (at least the lower lights, could not see the overhanging lights from the angle I was at). That must have been what National Signal was working on this Monday. MUCH brighter- the old ones you could barely tell when they were lit.
