What type of switch stand and target did the Monon use? I've seen one in New Albany that had two red and green perpendicular rectangles, and one in Gosport that had a red chevron below and perpendicular to a green rectangle. I assume in yards, they would use a low profile switch and target and I believe I've seen some lit switch stand targets, but I'm not sure.
Thanks,
Steve Ford

They used a lot of Lanterns on the switch stands in the 1900's but seemed to have been removed sometime in the 1950's.
Here are some more examples:
