While driving back toward my hotel, I stopped to grab a photo of a pair of searchlights. Although not as sought after as the semaphores on the Raton Sub as they're much more common, they're still sick and my favorite signal type.
We reached the end of the road on this pensinular and it would have been lovely to expore further, visit the signal station, see the sea on the other side, find a better spot for the flowering heather. But Ireland has no right to roam and no network of footpaths, which is sometimes very frustrating.
Signal lines along the main Union Pacific line between Green River, Utah and Grand Junction, Colorado.
Happy Telegraph Tuesday
NS B14 passes by the Conrail era trilight signals at CP Belshaw in Belshaw Indiana on the Kankakee Line. Leading the train is a GP60 and a GP33ECO. Shooting trains on this line can be rather difficult with all daily road traffic abolished and routed elsewhere.
Former NBR High Street Goods signal box. Opened in 1904 and closed in 1967. Survived until the early 2000s despite the yard closing in 1982.
Surviving GSWR built Bell St goods bonded warehouse of College St goods in background. Apparently the premises were used by Scotch whisky blenders. Building now converted to flats.

Having a desire to snag a dramatic night photo of the searchlight signals in Old Monroe, Mo. was always on my to-do-list.
On this night, it worked out perfectly with the high clouds racing overhead and the glow of the city lights in the distance. I even got a little help with the cold weather because some of the folks in town had fires burning. Their smoke after filtering through the air was thin enough to help create the perfect flare from the signals' light.
Taken from the fence line surrounding the house track in Old Monroe, Mo. on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. on December 6th, 2015 just before a UCEX coal load ripped through town.
As sunlight fades behind the Lower Austrian Mountains, a westbound OBB Railjet passes by the long closed, but restored Breitensetein signal box.
Having enjoyed a couple of days in the sun engaged in rather more active pursuits, an early-ish return home today provided an opportunity to visit one of my local spots and the significantly more leisurely 'snapping of the logs'.
Colas Tug 60085 is doing the honours with the 12.58pm Carlisle Yard - Chirk Kronospan (6J37), and what better than to incorporate the splendid signal box and a couple of the semaphores basking in the evening sun. Catch 'em while you can I guess.

A southbound Burlington Northern unit coal train waits for a signal at Spruce, CO on June 10, 1988, led by Oakway SD60 No. 9044.
Knocking off mile my mile and cruising at every bit of track speed train 107 with a LNG set up front splits the 63 signals in the middle of Dorena siding. The entire 20 hours or so on the FEC were irritating, frustrating and just rather interesting. From wild hogs going nuts in the woods next to me here, the homeless life in Saint Augustine coming out of the thicket and almost getting hit to just getting plan ole cloud fucked, and trains running way off schedule on a fairly scheduled railroad. FEC was not my friend this trip but I did still get a few decent trains.
This round mound of a mountain doesn't get much attention when one is at the iconic Oxbow Bend of the Snake River. Some rather craggy peaks like the "grand" one at the right does tho.
This is the northern section of Signal Mountain, with the 7720 foot summit to the SW. Incredible views of the Tetons from the top.
"Though located adjacent to the Tetons, Signal Mountain was not formed in the same manner or period. The mountain originally was formed by volcanic ashfall from one of the eruptions of the Yellowstone hotspot. The peak is also partially a glacial moraine formed by a receding glacier that came south out of the Yellowstone icecap. This same glacier also created neighboring Jackson Lake." Wikipedia
Have a wonderful week!

Henri-Georges Adam (1904–1967) was considered during his lifetime to be one of the greatest French sculptors and printmakers of his time. He is the creator of the emblematic Signal, a monumental sculpture spanning 22 metres and weighing 220 tonnes, commissioned by the State in 1956 for the terrace of the Musée-maison de la culture du Havre.
US&S Automatic Block Signals 7584 and 7583 between control points at Lake Point and Erda, Utah on Union Pacific's Lynndyl Subdivision. In 2015, these units were replaced by new Safetran tricolor signals. July 24, 1993

As the clouds roll in over Valemount, the CN signals outside of town stand tall and still awaiting the next passing freight. An anomaly on the west coast, CN's signals in the mountain region range from 20 to 30ft tall allowing train crews to see them from farther distances.
