Williton railway station in Somerset was opened by the West Somerset Railway in 1862 and closed by British Rail in 1971. It was reopened in 1976 as a heritage line. The signal box, which dates from 1875, is the only Bristol and Exeter Railway one still in use. It still operates the signals and overlooks the level crossing at the south end of the station.
Pinned this extraordinary looking elevator sometime ago.

Visited on my return from east Texas this year.
It's a peculiar build of steel plate fastened with bolts resulting in a ribbed appearance. Fascinating. Finished in black and white to show off its corduroy appearance.
Today, it's a platform for wireless antennas, signals.

Several Canadian National guards man the east side of Durand, Michigan if you approach. This was once the Grand Truck main line between Detroit and Chicago. New "Safe-T" signals provide the Christmas y feel.
The alien always wondered is there any life among the distant stars. She knew the spot on the great plain where a rare signal could be detected. For a few years she tried to send signals back, and once even got some kind of a reply, though it was impossible to decipher. But now there are no signal, no matter how hard she tried...
This is an idea I wanted to do for a while, and I was hoping to take it on Friday, and post on Saturday, so I would be able to create and post the final picture for 2024 on December 30th/31th, which would mean that I would finally overcome my two weeks lag and would have a picture for every week of 2024, as always, and as if I never broke my streak (which I never did since spring 2019 until this December).
But on Friday I was too exhausted after watching a new episode of Doctor Who, and on Saturday I suddenly felt very, very unwell. The most (and worst) symptoms stopped the next day, but I'm still not feeling well, so it was quite a challenge to build a scene while feeling so (yeah, I'm stubborn). Hopefully I will feel better the next day, but a part of the plan for New Year's Eve is ruined anyway. :(
I'm going to reply to all your comments, notifications (after the last two weeks there are already a lot of them, oh my!) and will check your recent pictures, but obviously not today. :) If the odds would be in my favor tomorrow, I hopefully will post my usual end of the year picture, as planned.
P.S. The background: NASA (JSC)
P.P.S. The legs are sand blue! I didn't realize it will look as light bluish gray in that light. Don't worry, of course, she wears warm pants, it's too cold on the plain at night. :)
P.P.P.S. The scene was partly inspired by Doctor Who soundtrack:

Instow railway station was a railway station in the village of Instow, North Devon, England, on the Bideford Extension of the North Devon Railway. Opened in November 1855, the station closed to passengers in 1965, but the line remained open for freight until 1982. The signal box has been preserved as a working attraction. The Atlantic Coast Express used to go through the station on its way to Torrington, but it did not call at Instow.
The former site of the railway tracks is now part of the Tarka Trail.
I might not have time to do a full "year in review" this year, but -- then again -- I'm not sure I took enough photos throughout the year to do one!
That said, certainly the highlight of my photography year was a three-day trip to Virginia with Brian Plant. In 2017, I had a very brief introduction to NS's H-Line north of Roanoke while on my way home from a work conference in Tennessee. I always wanted to go back, but -- with a wife and son at home -- finding the time always made that difficult. When NS started replacing the steam-era CPL signals on the line, however, I knew that time was of the essence. This year, Brian Plant offered to do the driving if I met him partway down, so -- with my wife's blessing -- we were off!
I figured Sunday, April 14th would just be a travel day, so I was very pleasantly surprised when Brian and I were able to catch up to southbound Train 13Z and the weather cooperated! Here, the train knocks down the CPL signal at Arcadia -- my favorite location on the line.
Recently, NS replaced the CPL signals here, so this shot was just in time for sure!

Heckington signal box in Lincolnshire was opened in 1876 and features a 1925 Saxby & Farmer lever frame.
The station was opened by the Boston, Sleaford and Midland Counties Railway on 13 April 1859. It is now owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway who provide all rail services.
The Signal Tower in Arbroath is located next to the picturesque and historic harbour, within the original shore station for the Bell Rock Lighthouse, The Signal Tower Museum tells the story of the lighthouse itself and of the local fishing and maritime industries.
Built in 1872 by Fox and Company Shipping Agents as a communication hub for passing trading vessels, Lloyd's Signal Station was used by a team of signallers using morse code and Aldis lamps to flag direct passing ships whilst communicating with London via telegraph.
Within five years the station was being used by over 1,000 ships per month. Operation of the station was taken over by Lloyd's of London in 1883 and it ceased operating in December 1969.. Restored by National Trust and leased by purchasors.
