Went down to Kirksanton on my day off due to a very optimistic forecast. Sun was out 'til 5 minutes before the train. 68005 leads the Drigg LLWR stone empties toward Barrow Docks.
I planned to return here to do it in the sun but that was also optimistic as the sun didn't shine on it again before the flow finished.
One of Scotland's more modern but also short lived signal boxes, Hunterston Junction.
The signal box was built in 1978 to a standard Scottish Region Relay Room design with signalman's area combined. It opened with the commissioning of the short branch off the Largs line into the British Steel High Level Loading Terminal. The new facility built by British Steel allowed iron ore and coal to be rapid loaded to trains direct from conveyors at the Hunterston deep water port replacing what had previously been done at General Terminus Docks on the Clyde in Glasgow. The box opened on 2/4/1978 but initially only controlled movements within the High Level terminal complex and trains running on the 3 mile branch to and from Hunterston Low Level in conjunction with Hunterston BSC Control Tower in the port. It wasn't until 20/7/1986 that it was fully commissioned as a block post on the Largs passenger line when track rationalisation ahead of the electrification of the line resulted in adjacent boxes closing at Fairlie and Holm Junction. Hunterston Junction box ceased to function as signal box when Paisley PSB took over the route on 28//8/1992 when it was down graded to a Ground Frame. So a relatively short life of six years as a fully fledged signal box. It remained in situ controlling access to the High Level Sidings only, being manned by BR yard staff then EWS after privatisation but not in a signalling capacity. With the cessation of coal traffic in 2015 it saw a further downgrade to an unmanned relay room as the branch to the high level was mothballed.
Sometimes we need to walk away so far, even signal won't catch us. Is in the loneliness of those places, when with nature's help, we meet our soul again, in peace.

Three sets of signals at the west end of Toronto, 8th November 2005. The signalling system is a speed signalling system rather than a route signalling system as used in the UK hence the lack of any route indicators on these signals
Family Platystomatidae. The Platystomatidae are a distinctive family of flies in the superfamily Tephritoidea. Signal flies are worldwide in distribution, found in all the biogeographic realms, but predominate in the tropics. It is one of the larger families of acalyptrate Diptera with around 1200 species in 127 genera.
Taken with a Samsung S22 Ultra. phone camera using the telephoto lens.
Not the best Ariel photo but what I thought was not possible was that the phone recorded the GPS position whilst in 'Flight Mode', which we were permitted to switch to.
I was not even connected to the QANTAS in flight WIFI.
This was about 20 km SSE of the Township of Finke in the Northern Territory, at an altitude of about 10,600 metres.
I guess in flight mode no signals are sent out by the phone but signals coming in (GPS signals) can be recorded ??
I'm not sure how acurate these GPS signals were but they seem to correspond to what I saw and what is on Google Earth with this and other photos that I took.
The new BNSF signals west of Las Vegas were tested, activated and in service at about noon on November 19, 2020. A signalman at West Chapelle turns the head of a new signal and lines it up with the main line. The semaphore is out of service and will come down later after Amtrak No. 3 passes.

Here's a shot of this morning's sunrise... captured from Signal Hill.
This image is made up of three photos... each captured with a different exposure... and then blended together using luminosity masks.

This year we decided to spend a few days down in the Tetons, rather than our usual jaunt through the park on our way to/from Yellowstone. We stayed at Signal Mountain Lodge, which was an amazing place...grand views of the Tetons right from our deck. On our last morning in the park, we decided to take the drive up to the Signal Mountain Summit and wait for the sun to rise. Initially, I was a bit disappointed because there was a lot of smoke & haze throughout the park as a result of a prescribed fire. But even with that type of atmosphere, the Tetons lit up in all their glory....what a heavenly way to start the day :-)
Btw...this spot was recommended by a flickr friend, Bruce Oakley (bhophotos)....so thanks to him we had a perfect ending to our stay in the park. If you get a chance, be sure to check out his photostream. And thanks for all the wonderful comments & support!!!!
I was looking for a nice place to take some shoots.
By chance I get to a narrow road in the countryside.
At the end of the road there was a nice railway and all around, a lot of rusty stuff.
Light was awesome so I could get some great captures.
I hope you like this one.

Working signals at Crewe Heritage Centre. See if I have this right? Red for signals, black for points and blue to lock the points. Very useful for a b&w shot!
Halfway between Hanoi and Halong Bay we stopped off at some touristy destination that specialised in marble carvings. There was some pretty amazing stuff, i just chose to spend my 20 minutes walking around the bus depot.
I don't know what's going on here but I like it

A heavily modified image of Deganwy signal box, I wanted to give the picture the feel of a poster/drawing - I think it worked ok.

After being to Savage, I can say one thing... Signals are everywhere. From the looks of it there are two CPs in the same location from the MARC station just east past the Vulcan interchange track.
here we see a westbound empty coal train coming through Savage on the way back to a mine in West Virginia.
