These signals were custom made for the Cleveland Union Terminal and had a 110VAC Searchlight mech inside. They also had the lighting transformers and several relays inside. The top marker has a single aspect red lens. The searchlight mech looks like a SA without the front either stepped lens or compound lens, you can install a SA DC mech into the signal also.
