The white PVC tube is a Shunt Tube Enclosure and is designed to accommodate a track shunt for motion sensitive crossing control equipment. The Shunt Tube Enclosure can also be used as a junction for cable and track wires in high lightning areas for added circuit protection. Cable and track wires enter through the bottom of the enclosure. The enclosures are typically buried 8 to 10 feet from the rail to prevent interference with track maintenance machinery. Jacob, thanks for your comment.

I'm the Work Equipment O'Shell. My brother Terry who posted the photo is the S&C guy. He will have to provide the details on that silo that track machines are NOT supposed to make contact with. :-) Hi Jacob. I’m the Work Equipment O’Shell.

A question for you or Paul. What are those white columns seen between the main and siding that are popping up all over? Nice time machine shot with Arnold’s. A question for you or Paul.
