This is the where they used to keep the signal flags for the lighthouse at Green Cape NSW. So signals were flown from here to ships sailing by. A dangerous area for sailing in the colonial days. The old light in the background. Now a tourist destination.
Cabot Tower a historical landmark located on Signal Hill a National Historic site in the City of St. John's on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
Cabot Tower is a tower in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, situated on Signal Hill. Construction of the tower began in 1898 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland, and Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
In 1901, Guglielmo Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless message at a position near the tower, the letter "S" in Morse Code sent from Poldhu, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Cabot Tower is now the centre of the Signal Hill National Historic Site of Canada,] with walking trails and an interpretation centre.
Located at the highest point of Signal Hill, overlooking the city and the ocean, Cabot Tower is an example of late-Gothic Revival style. Built of irregularly coursed red sandstone, it is composed of a two-story, 30 foot, square structure with a three-story, 50 foot octagonal tower that stands on the southeast corner of the building. The corners are buttressed at the first floor level and further emphasized through the use of heavier blocks of stone. On the main body of the building, at the top of the second storey level, is a line of repeating pattern like an exaggerated dentil row or inverted crenelations. The attached tower, which houses the main entrance, is very plain with a double string course marking the divisions between second and third storeys and heavy corbel tables marking the eight corners of the turret at the flared upper level. The windows on both the corner turret and the body of the tower proper are rectangular and set under heavy stone lintels.
The architect of Cabot Tower, William Howe Greene, was a prominent St. John's architect and an associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Wikipedia

What if I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me?
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all by design
'Cause I'm a mastermind
You see, all the wisest women
Had to do it this way
'Cause we were born to be the pawn
In every lover's game
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
And the liquor in our cocktails
What if I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me, I knew I wanted your body?
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all my design
'Cause I'm a mastermind

Knaresborough signal box is one of a small number of signal boxes that was built as an 'extension' on the end of an established row of properties rather than as a 'free standing' structure. The level crossing has remained manually operated and is primarily a pedestrian crossing of the line. However, the wicket gates are secured by the signaller for the passage of trains. The box is Grade II listed
The train, which has just crossed the viaduct over the River Nidd is on the Leeds - Harrogate - York route
Knaresborough is a market and spa town in the Borough of Harrogate, in North Yorkshire, England, on the River Nidd. It is 3 miles east of Harrogate
Hopefully Chris can tell us what type of train it is
After finding some coal empties departing Laurel northbound, we decided to follow them north up the Laurel Sub and, eventually, the Broadview Sub. This is a new section of track that was put in about 15 years ago to service the large Signal Peak Mine just south of Roundup, MT. With several hills and a mix of wooded and wide open terrain, it's a neat piece of railroad that tends to elude the camera. Signal Peak was churning out coal loads the week we were visiting, and this E-RBGSXM2-50F is one of several trains we saw heading to or from the mine.
POAY ducks under the B&M era signal bridge and searchlights at CPF 241 in Rollinsford, NH on a fall afternoon.
#ONT113 passes an old searchlight signal, at New Liskeard that once used to light the right of way for trains on the Temagami Subdivision. The crew on this train loved to have their pictures taken, if you could notice the upside down 👌 pose the conductor is giving.
A replica semaphore signal at the site of the now-defunct railway station at Peel, Isle of Man.
Peel station was a terminus on the Isle of Man Railway line between Douglas in the east and Peel on the west coast. Denoting the position of the former railway line, this replica fishtail semaphore signal stands at the end of the station yard, together with a small set of replica level crossing gates.
The yard and platforms were cleared but the former station building is incorporated into the House of Manannan heritage centre, which opened in 1997.
CSS AF4 slowly rolls through the double-track crossover at 51.5 near Ogden Dunes. The signals are dark due to a signal suspension in place between Gary Metro and Bailly as part of the Double Track NWI project.
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.
