| The BNSF work crew arrives and is ready to begin. The signal supervisor from Dodge City, Mr. Bill Blecha, starts the dismantling of the semaphore by disconnecting two DC power relays at the base of semaphore. This causes the semaphore arm to drop to the 'Stop' position. After almost 70 years of service, the semaphore is retired from duty. | ||
