Well, it depends on what part of the Detroit sub you mean. Until just recently, there were PM era signals (I believe) at Hines Park east of Plymouth. If you mean the signal bridges between Haggerty and P Company, I believe those were toward the later C&O era, at least I have a photo from about 1966 of a C&O passenger train under one of them and it looks brand new. At Rougemere, there are or were signals from the C&O, Chessie, and CSX. New mono-hood signals are going in in random places at the moment, but as far as i know, the bridges will stay searchlights for a while, except for one intermediate that has already been taken out of service.. as of about 2004 or so.
