Seemingly oblivious to the worn out concrete pavement and faded crosswalk markings, this well-dressed man on his way to the office passes underneath one of Chicago's L train stations clearly showing its age.

Here's a sign of changing times. We spent 2 weeks in Scotland, and I can count the number of railway photographs taken on the fingers of 2 hands. Stopping at Blair Atholl on our way to Inverness to drive the "NorthCoast500" route I was surprised to see Blair Atholl signal box still open and operative. For some reason I had thought that the Highland main line had all been re-signalled some years ago. I was wrong.
Blair Atholl box was a Highand Railway design dating from about 1890.
The impressive signal box at Canterbury West that spans the running lines is the feature of the station. Competing for attention on 14th March 2009 is the National Railway Museum's 'Britannia' No. 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' and 'Electrostar' Class 375 EMU No. 375624. The former had just arrived with The Railway Touring Company's 'Golden Arrow' charter that had earlier visited the Folkestone Harbour branch, and now forms 1Z84, 1309 ex-Folkestone Harbour. Meanwhile the Class 375 is about to call at the station with a service to London. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
While this is a "golden" shot of an old MILW signal, I doubt the signal department forces will think this is so golden if they have to work on it on account of the infestation of wasps under the shield.
Approach signal to Watertown on the Madison line.

The signal box at Welshpool - from the train, 30/6/83. The netting and posts are possibly ex- tablet catchers?

Signal box (1910) at Eisenbahnmuseum Bochum-Dahlhausen in Bochum, Germany.
This signal box was originally installed at the Köln-Mühlheim goods yard in 1910. It remained in use at this location until the 1970s and was transfered and restored at the museum at Dahlhausen. This included the re-construction of the corrugated iron cladding which had been destroyed in a fire and the rebuilding of the control apparatus.
This signal tower is located at the C&O Railway Heritage Center in Clifton Forge, Virginia. According to information at the museum, the rectangular two-story design was adopted around 1900. This particular tower is a replica of an earlier one, as noted in the museum's entry on the Virginia Tourism Corporation website.

HDR view inside the signal box at Hartington in Derbyshire. The signal box is now a visitors centre on the Tissington Trail through the Peak District. Restored to look like a working 'old style' railway signal box - everything's there apart from the trains these days....

Frodsham Junction signal box located between the Down Main of the Warrington to Chester line and Up Liverpool via Halton Jct line on a fine September 8th 1986.
London & North Western Railway Company Type 5 design built for the London and North Western & Great Western Joint Railways in 1912 and fitted with a 32 lever frame.
The signal box carried a London Midland & Scottish Railway Company post-1935 design nameboard, and the top part of the roof finial had been removed.
Signal PR52 at Par Station, soon to be removed. Showing some signs of weathering, though last time it had some work stainless steel nuts and bolts seem to have been used, a good choice.
