On my trip on the EB last week R/T from CHI to MSP I seen the new style LED signals. There was a few dwarf signals equiped with them north of union station. I was very impressed! They seem to display a very crisp and clear light. This must be a dream come true for signal maintainers, since LED's will never burn out, compared to a few thousand hours of an incondescent lamp. It looks like Amtrak is converting some of there railroad crossing signal lamps to the new LED style replacements or conversions. I seen a handfull of crossings equipped with them on the Amtrak owned line from Kalamazoo,MI to Portage, IN.
