I just wanted to say that the ''Albany Lights'' are VERY real. That road is now named after my grandfather. The lights have been there for all of my life. The road was named ''Dummy Line Road'' for many years. It was named that because the railroad had a track running through there. It was later named after my grandfather, ''Elbert Stewart Road''.
My grandfather explained what the lights are. This is what he told me.
In the late 1800s the couplings
|
|
on rail cars were different. They were simply two pieces of flat steel that slid together and had a pin hole in them. The brakeman's job was to drop the
|
pin in the two pieces when they lined up. If the brakeman missed the chance, the two rail cars would hit together, killing the brakeman. The light you see is the brakeman signaling the engineer that the pinning was made.
I have been there MANY times to see it. I'm 49, and it's been there all of my life. The strange thing is that if you have any type of camera of video recorder, he doesn't show. I have gone as far as to hide a piece of a camera
