Anyone ever wire an MTH signal bridge to the Lionel Accessory Activator Pack? I'm curious on the wiring configuration that was used in this setup.

Take a look at this write-up by Azatrax. A relay is used to apply power to either the proceed/vertical/green light or the stop/horizontal/red light on the signal bridge. The relay is controlled by the insulated-rail of the Activator Pack.

The Azatrax relay module runs about $10 (plus shipping). If DIY component-level assembly and soldering is in your comfort-zone, you can buy parts from eBay and make the equivalent for less than half that. There are OGR threads showing how to do this which can be dug up if you're interested. But most guys understandably want a plug-and-play solution...

Thanks. I saw a similar suggestion when I was searching old posts but it wasn't clear to me. This article makes a lot more sense to me. I appreciate the help!
