Srosenow_98 is an online pseudonym of Steven Rosenow from Shelton, Washington, I am a Washington native and my interests vary greatly from photography (including astrophotography and astronomy in general), the Fisher Communications flagship station KOMO-TV, to old school buses built by the Gillig and Kenworth truck companies, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and anything Ford Motor Company related. In addition to those interests, I also collect and restore traffic signals from the United States. My collection is large and consists of over a dozen units. My most favorite is the 3M traffic signal. (see photos below)
Outside of Wikipedia, I'm also the owner of the largest, and only resource for Gillig bus information anywhere on the web, and I'm in the process of restoring one of the last examples of a Kenworth school bus still in existence.

A photo of two 3M signals taken in Shelton, Washington, for the 3M article. In this view, off-axis from the intended viewing area, the signals appear to be "off" or "invisible" during daylight hours to avoid confusion. At night, a faint glow is present when viewing them off-axis.
