Probbacher Waldsee in Hessen
Idyllically situated between Probbach and Winkels in the Faulbach valley is a small reservoir, the 2.5-hectare Waldsee with a storage capacity of around 80,000 cubic metres. Its dam is nine metres high and 160 metres long. Built in 1974 as part of the Probbach/Winkels land consolidation programme and subsidised by special funds from the federal government and the EEC, the lake was intended to contribute to the development of the lower Westerwald as a leisure and recreation area. Now that the municipality of Mengerskirchen has built modern sanitary facilities, a kiosk and a barbecue hut here, the forest lake offers excellent opportunities not only for swimming but also for fishing.

B&O signal engineer Frank Patenall was on to something when he first implemented the color position light signal back in the early 1920's.
Viewed as an alternative to a semaphore signal, the color position light signal (CPL) used both color lights and position relative to a semaphore blade, to convey an aspect.
104 years later the concept still works.
L452 rolls east at a location known as Shields, Indiana and passes through a set of Mr. Patenall's CPL signals. Though one red light is out the signal still can convey it's aspect, a part of it's grand design.
This section of the B&O received APB (absolute permissive block) signaling in late 1937. After 87 years of service, the signal system is being replaced. The code line, relays and signals will be replaced by solid state electronics and satellite communication, concepts unheard of at one time.
