This signal fixed at stop denotes the limit of authority for terminating trains running in the down direction on the up local line into Revesby station. This signal enables trains to approach under a running indication on the previous signal rather than the shunting (calling on) indication that would be needed if a stop board or similar limit of authority was used.
In NSW, signals fixed at red do not have a number, although they do require the same authority to pass as a controlled signal at stop.
Maintenance train M551, consisting of spoil wagons, is in the background.

Spent a lot of time on the London Underground recently. This is one of the vaguely symmetrical clusters of wires and apparatus that caught my eye. evetheblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/20/another-48-hours/
NJ Transit's PRR wrapped ALP46 leads NJCL train 3232 under the PRR catenary infrastructure at Kearny, looking hardly out of place on the railroad it pays homage to.

Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge
Raising financial support for a new eight-lane bridge over the Cooper River was a struggle 20 years in the making, prolonged by the state's insistence that it could not afford such a bridge and by Charleston's reluctance to provide any funds for the project. Several proposals were made for a toll bridge, but the mayors of Charleston and Mount Pleasant objected. When officials revealed in 1995 that the Grace Bridge scored a 4 out of 100 for safety and integrity, retired U.S. Congressman Arthur Ravenel, Jr. ran for the South Carolina Senate with a goal of solving the funding problem. He helped to establish the S.C. Infrastructure Bank and worked with local, state, and federal officials to create partnerships that helped to materialize the final funding.
The State Infrastructure Bank (SIB) budgeted $325 million to accompany $96.6 million from the Federal Highway Administration. The project did not become a reality, however, until the SIB agreed to commit to a $215 million federal loan, provided that Charleston County would contribute $3 million a year for 25 years, including an 8.33% sales tax increase, to the federal loan, as well as yearly payments from the SCDOT and State Ports Authority. The overall price of the bridge totaled around $700 million.
Chicago, IL: Amtrak train No. 392 "Illini" is heading south on Canadian National Railway tracks. On the rear of the train are three Iowa Pacific Holdings cars, Diner 448, full length dome "Scenic View" and "Pontchartrain Club" respectively. These cars were chartered by the Illinois Central Railroad Heritage Association for a day's outing from Chicago Union Station to Carbondale and return. View is north as we continue across the steel bridge(s) over the Calumet River at E. 134th Street. Metra Electric tracks are on the left.
The Constitution of 1812 Bridge, also known like La Pepa Bridge (El puente de la Constitución de 1812 or Puente de La Pepa in Spanish), is a new bridge across the Bay of Cadiz, linking Cadiz with Puerto Real in mainland Spain.
Cadiz's first bridge, the Carranza bridge, was inaugurated in 1969, and is now crossed by some 40,000 vehicles per day. In 1982 the Spanish government accepted the need for a second bridge.
It will have two 180m pylons, one in the sea and the other in Cabezuelas Harbour, a 540 meters span and a 69 meters of vertical clearance. The bridge also includes a 150 meters removal span. The bridge is actually on service.
It is the second bridge that crosses over to Cádiz from the mainland, after Carranza bridge, and one of the bridges of greater height in Europe with gauge of 69 meters and 5 kilometers in total length. It will be a suspension bridge with large towers: 187 meters of the sea and 181 meters of earth. Its the third access to the city, along with the isthmus San Fernando and said Carranza bridge. Given the large width of the board, it will be a bridge high capacity communications: motorway with two lanes in each direction and two lanes reserved for metropolitan public transport such as the new tram system.
The bill was drafted by the engineer of roads, canals and ports Javier Manterola. The works were scheduled for completion in 2012, coinciding with the bicentenary of the Spanish Constitution of 1812 which was written in Cádiz. However, due to cuts in public works required by the current economic crisis, the work is more than three years late.
In summer 2013 the work had progressed but at a slower pace. Later, since early 2014 the work progressed at a good pace, highlighting the installation of its cable-stayed span and hiring more staff working every day (including night shifts). In the first half of 2015, the bridge structure is completed, providing full completion in September of the same year.[2]
As data highlights:
The earlier draft described a arch bridge whose total length was 2.3 kilometer y 55 meters.
The total length of the current project, viaducts and links is 5 kilometers: 3096 meters on the bridge of which 1655 meters will be over the sea, with a main span of 540 meters record of Spain, with one hundred meters more than the bridge engineer Carlos Fernández Casado, famous engineer of roads, canals and ports, the reservoir Barrios de Luna. Besides the vain is the third largest in Europe suspended class, after Rio-Antirio Bridge and Normandy bridge.
The maximum height above the sea level is 69 meters, with two pylons 187 meters, making it one of the tallest bridges in Europe.
They are 30 meters higher than the pylons between both sides of the Bay.
