A former SP interlocking tower lives on in Luling, TX as a tire shop. Its always the last place you look... December 2013.
The Nittany & Bald Eagle Railroad operates the former PRR Bald Eagle Branch, which once had CTC. Although Conrail deactivated the signals in the early 80's when it tried to abandon the branch, many signals remained into the 2000's. But by 2021, I believe this bridge in Milesburg holds the last of the Pennsy Position Lights on the line.

La casetta centrale dà l'impressione di essere stata incastrata a forza tra le altre due costruzioni come se fosse stata messa li per sorreggerle.
ELEJ1X with a pair of GP40-2's, CR 3368 and CR 3397. This train is on the Chicago Line and is passing Judd Tower. The tower protected the NYC and Pere Marquette, my understanding the CSX pulled up the track in 1988.
Though the actual building is long gone, southbound NS freight train 123 grinds its way through the KD Tower, KY, interlocking with a particularity heavy train in tow on January 26, 2020.
More from the world inside a pocket watch!
I'm not feeling too well today, but I'll try and visit your streams later in the day...
See the swirls large on black! :)
In the Dearborn Subway, a Forest Park-bound CTA Blue Line train swings through the curve underneath Congress Parkway, about to pass through La Salle Interlocking and make its stop at the La Salle station. The subway station here is below and adjacent to La Salle Street Station, terminal for Metra's Rock Island District.
An inbound C&NW Northwest Line scoot approaches Lake Street interlocking and the Chicago Passenger Terminal. Semaphores and double slip switches dominate this March 31st 1984 scene. Mark Ratzer photo.
Most of the Western Maryland relics along the Lurgan Subdivision are gone, making this old shack worth grabbing in a frame whenever I can. CSX train D773 is passing the old telephone hut that stands at the Conboy Interlocking near milepost 14. This used to be a signaled, automatic switch in decades past but with the decline in Lurgan Sub traffic it was no longer needed and it is now a hand-thrown switch to a little used siding.
the XX37 assault rifle.It is well known throughout the xx army for its range of compatiblity on any class.A widely used rifle by the xx army's different unit classes.Despite being such an old rifle,it is still being demanded to meet the requirements of the present combat.This is the 3rd upgrade of the XX37,which means that XX37 is the only rifle in the xx army to have a 3rd generation.
I have previously posted pics with various numbers of interlocking forks, often with an egg balanced on top (because I can).
I have prayed with the intensities just to add interest.

I rebuilt YO tower to include a train order semaphore in addition to its mechanical interlocking machine. It is equipped to operate both mechanical semaphores and electric signals at a 1x2 track diamond crossing. Previous incarnations were too complex to travel easily. This re-design aims to build a simple and transportable moc that will showcase the lego interlocking machine and mechanical semaphore signals
Passing under power lines that almost mimic the track layout of Delray, CP T-40 heads back to Windsor, Ontario after interchanging with NS at Oakwood Yard. Delray is one of the last manned interlocking towers left in service in the US. One can see several railroads converging at this location. CP, CN, NS, Conrail Shared Assets, CSX, and The Delray Connecting Railroad all pass through the junction along with several yards in close proximity (CSX Rougemere, NS Oakwood, and CR Livernois Yards).
Train: CP T-40 with CP 5020 (SD30C-ECO), CP 6261 (SD60M), and CP 5030 (SD30C-ECO).

The 11 AM LGSR trip returns from Old Penn Haven Towards Jim Thorpe, seen here taking the connection at Coal Interlocking with R&N 2531 on the point. O

NS intermodal train #203 coming off the Piedmont Division at Howell Interlocking arriving at its destination of Inman Yard.
PETE interlocking stood at MP 209, the junction of the main line and the Petersburg Branch. Controlled by HUNT Tower, this remote-controlled interlocking's control box and westbound home signal are seen in this 1978 shot. The branch ran to Hollidaysburg where it joined the New Portage Branch at WYE Tower. Both branches were abandoned in the early 1980s. Nothing remains of PETE today.

an abstract image using geometrics....originally just color & light then processed.....
I have an interest in Geology & imagine the Tectonic Plates which are always moving & exerting huge pressure on each other to be locked in battle like this...compressing & expanding until the Earths surface is ruptured creating Volcanic activity & Earth Quakes.....the weak points are known as faults where much of this activity takes place
thanks for looking in....appreciated.....best bigger....hope you have a Great Weekend
I shot this for the Macro Mondays group theme of Gear: 21/05/2012.
I don't normally need an excuse, but the theme this week gave me the perfect opportunity to play with my collection of antique pocket watches!
However, this is not a pocket watch, it's the insides of a Smith and Son stopwatch that looks like it needs a good clean!
Oh well, I guess I know what I'll be doing later on today! :)
HMM!
CTA Purple Line Express run 520 threads its way from Tracks 2 to 4 at Thorndale Interlocking, a new set of universal scissors crossovers installed just south of Thorndale station on the North Side Main Line. This marks the north end of the RPM (Red-Purple Modernization) project to completely rebuild the 4-track main line- embankment, stations, and all- between here and just south of Lawrence. In the project section, tracks 1 and 2 are currently in use for all trains while tracks 3 and 4 get rebuilt on new viaduct sections. To accommodate the work, certain stations (Berwyn and Lawrence) have been closed completely, while others (Argyle and Bryn Mawr) have been partially closed, with their former island platforms serving only northbound Red Line trains; new, temporary platforms have been built to serve southbounds, which currently use what was southbound express track 1. Amazingly, Purple Line Express service has been preserved throughout all this work, a feat no doubt made easier by the fact that train frequencies have been somewhat reduced due to the pandemic and ongoing crew/staff shortages.
A 600 class former ATSF Warbonnet Dash 9 is on the point of BNSF train V-SAGNSI3-05A passing Old Union Depot Interlocking on Track 80 of the KCT North-South Corridor headed for NS's Avondale Yard via The Gooseneck and the Hannibal Bridge.
It may look worse for wear, as all the 600's do now, but Santa Fe painted engines won't last forever and its nice to get one leading a road train as many are now RCO-equipped for yard service. 12/6/23.
There is room inside the box for the battery, resistors and all other wire connections that the distant signal needs. The pole line transmits the the operating impulses from the switch inside the tower.
At one time this was a diamond, but today only the line to Ridgeway and beyond, and Brookville, passes by this spot.
ACS-64 AMTK 614 looks devilish with the red marker lights lit as it comes through CP State. The Keystone train is shoving back into the Harrisburg Transportation Center after running out to the end of electrification to allow for a platform change. Laying on the ground at the edge of the right-of-way lays the new tracks to be installed at the interlocking. Amtrak is in the middle of a major infrastructure project in and around the station.
