The former Alton lines of the GM&O (now ICG) have color position light signals,
which is explained by B&O's ownership of the Alton for many years.

I see that on the few remaining ex-Pennsy lines here in Illinois, Conrail has
replaced the position light signals with NYC-style color light signals.  Is
this happening elsewhere?
