These are on Greely Road in Cumberland. We go past these almost every day. I have hoped to see a train come by, but I have not timed it right. They will be used when the Downeaster travels from Portland to Brunswick. The route goes through Yarmouth Junction up to Freeport where there will be a new station. The track has new rail and ballast and looks like it is ready to use.
Anyway what is different about these signals is that they also have a light for the trains as well as the traffic. I am waiting to see what color the light for the train will be. I am not sure how the signal will work. Also it looks like there is a place to put on a crossing gate arm. If you know what it will be like, please leave a comment.

old signals are still there and probably still working.
new signals are not completed yet and lights will be turn to right position when completed.
Thanks Tiny, that makes good sense.
