Coord 33.80555 89.80159 display title The Billups Neon Crossing Signal was a prototypical grade crossing signal installed at a dangerous Illinois Central crossing on Mississippi Highway 7 now Mississippi Highway 332 in Grenada, Mississippi . It was installed in the mid 1930s by inventor Alonzo Billups over growing concern due to numerous train versus motor vehicle accidents at the crossing. Like nothing before, the Billups signal was a large gantry spanning the highway and was likely the first such use of a gantry style crossing of the type now in relatively common use. Upon approach of a train, a giant neon sign lit up with the words Stop DEATH Stop beneath a lighted skull and crossbones . Flashing neon arrows indicated the direction of oncoming trains and an air raid siren in lieu of bells provided aural warning. As a backup, standard railway flashers were mounted below the neon sign. The signal was known locally as the Skull and Crossbones. The onset of World War II brought about a scarcity of neon which, when coupled with maintenance problems with the signal often manifesting themselves in the siren going off and not shutting down until a crew arrived meant that no further signals were produced. The prototype was removed after less than thirty years of service.

The Griswold Signal Company was a manufacturer of traffic signal s and railroad grade crossing signals based in Minneapolis, Minnesota . The company was founded by Minnesota native Frank W. Griswold, one of thirteen children born to attorney and local landowner Franklin C. Griswold. Griswold got his start in the early 1920s with the invention of the bobby signal, a traffic signal designed for placement in the middle of an intersection that would collapse if struck by a vehicle. Many bobby signals were sold to municipalities throughout North America this led to the development of Griswold Signal. The 1930s saw the invention of yet another signal. This was a unique combination of highway flasher and rotating stop sign. An approaching train would trigger not just the requisite red flashing lights and bells, but a mechanism that rotated a yellow stop sign ninety degrees to face traffic as well. The signs eventually changed to red. ref See a photo of one without the lights at http www.trainweb.org dansrailpix Griswold calistoga.JPG ref This type of signal was relatively common throughout the midwestern United States few made their way out west. Today, only three rotating stop sign signals remain in active use in the West. Two guard a crossing in Tacoma, Washington and a single Griswold guards a Union Pacific spur line on Bayshore Highway in San Jose, California its mate was knocked down by a car in October, 2002 and was replaced by a standard flasher and electronic bell. One remaining pair guards a grade crossing on a spur in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota and is still in complete working order with rotating stop sign. Several remain in use in the Twin Cities area on low train traffic lines, but with only the flashers in working order the unique rotating stop signs have been removed and disabled.
