Heres the first bridge on the Colchester Fill. Both these pictures were taken shortly after abandonment. The second after the scrappers had done their job.
Signals on the drawbridges:
They had Distant signals located approximately one mile north and south of the Draws and then a home signal located 500 feet north and south of the draw.  They were interlocking, which means the signals would display as soon as the draw was opened.



Heres some pics of the Allen Point Draw bridge which was at the other end of this fill shortly after abandonment.
