Having opened the level crossing gates and given a signal for a clear path ahead an engineering train passes Radstock signal box to attend to works further along the branch.
Some linemen arrive on their way to the engineering works being carried out a little further up the branch.
At the start of the trail around the gardens was Christmas tree shape made with lights and a star on the top. I liked the colours and the lines leading up to it.

In 2019, the Lorain Harbor Light was decked out in orange light for Halloween for the first time. There was also an animated green ghost that was projected on one of the walls. But it kept getting washed out by the orange lights in any exposure over a second long.

'Blow off a little steam'
World's first steam powered clock
Built in 1977. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.
