Out along the tracks. letting the engineer know what's coming. Hoping for an "all clear".
A small signal light sits along the active rail lines headed through Thurmond WV. I'm not sure what this type of signal is called.....the one in the foreground......nor what it would be for. If someone knows, I'd love to learn more about it. I just noticed that it was lit up and snagged a picture as we were readying to leave towards our next destination.
Westbound Norfolk Southern manifest 13Q splits the matched pair of bracket mast former NYC signals at CD 309 on the NS Chicago Line outside Swanton, OH on the evening of August 4, 2016. These signals are the last of their kind in the state of Ohio and are living on borrowed time.
A lone 3M as well as Eagle Alusig's with the 3M adapters at the intersection of Haverford and Beechwood Roads in Lower Merion.
It's a fine September afternoon on the CSX's Altenheim Subdivision in Chicago, as we approach signal 59-E which is displaying an approach indication for our eastbound ore train.
We will be looking for a stop indication up and around the tight curve at Roosevelt Road.

A sight that will (possibly) soon become history in Henrietta, a westbound NS intermodal train passes between the two sets of signals near the abandoned Lexington Road Bridge. A new set of vaders wait patiently across the right-of-way from the old color light signals that once replaced the Wabash searchlights. The vaders were erected a couple of years ago, so the time the color lights fall could be anyone's guess.

blagged night photographer and graham to stop at this location and ended up staying for a good few hours
This flagpole was once used in the old harbour to signal which were incoming and which were outgoing ships. It later was used as a meteorological station and moved to this location after it had no further use. It now marks the location of Pong Patchamit Fort
I have uploaded this picture just to explore the interesting situation outlined in an earlier upload on my site.
37250+37087 begin to back 7M71, the steel “blooms” from Lackenby into the British Steel plant, Workington on 1 May 1984. It seems odd that this move is delaying the passage of the passenger train (there are passengers on board its not ecs) seen here held at Moss Bay Iron Works' outer down home signal.
The most likely explanation for this is a signalling fault explored in the image below
NJ Transit Arrow III car no. 1509 is the lead unit on Montclair-Boonton Line train 208, seen approaching Glen Ridge Station. The signals here at CP Glen are approach lit, and appear to only activate for trains within the block proceeding them - they illuminated immediately as the train passed and entered the signal block.
I am glad that I was able to take three colors or more at the same time.
By the way, the world's first signal seemed to be installed in the London city in 1868, but seems to have exploded immediately.
On June 14, 2013 in Minamitanaka, Nerima ward.

ところで、世界で最初の信号機は1868年にロンドン市内に設置されたそうですが、すぐに爆発してしまったそうです。

56105 leads 3S14 11.38 Grimsby Town - York Works railhead treatment train, approaching New Barnetby. 66848 is on the rear. [Pole, 5/6 sections {~6.8m)]
This leg of the day's circuit first heads to Halifax (via Skellow, Wakefield Kirkgate and Mirfield), then returns to Wakefield Kirkgate (reverse) to run to Sheffield via Barnsley, and finally returns to York via Barnsley, Wakefield Kirkgate and Castleford. Incidentally, this train set off from Grimsby still showing as 3S13 on signalling maps, and therefore some reports for 3S13 on Realtime Trains have incorrect times; they are actually the times 3S14 went past, and 3S14 has lots of "no report" entries!
56105 was standing in for 66847 which had been sent for tyre turning; this was its third day working with 66848 and these wagons, but the loco is noticeably dirtier (on this side, at least) than when I'd photographed it closer to the background bridge two days previously (see here).
I'd originally planned to come to this spot on that previous occasion, but had spotted a group closer to the lime works and thought the sun might not have been lighting the front of the loco quite as well here - but I was wrong. So I decided to have another go, this location allowing a higher vantage point because you are not stood quite as much below track level. It was either come here or go to Scunthorpe, but I wanted to go north of the Humber for 3J51 (with 37s) and going to Scunthorpe would have risked missing it before its reversal at Hull (because I would have set off about twenty minutes later and had a longer drive).

Merry Christmas to all of you. I hope the day, and the season, has brought all of you great joy.
It was a silent night on the Niles Canyon Railway. After an evening chasing the Train of Lights, the heavy overcast departed, allowing a near full moon to shine on the countryside. It also provided the best backdrop against the vulnerable semaphores guarding Sunol. Yes, the signal indication was not correct for the signal indication, but hey, it worked!

Eastbound absolute signal at Tuner (formerly NI) in West Chicago. This is how CNW signals should look, with horizontal signal heads. Note that two have been replaced. I think this is the only bridge left on the Geneva Sub with these signal heads.
Another fantastic night in the Tetons! Last night we went up to Signal Mountain to see a stunning display of stars. I found it fitting to 'signal' the Andromeda universe, a satellite joined in for the fun too.
I'll be leaving the area soon, still undecided where to go. I have a few weeks to explore before my next workshop back in the Tetons (still some space left btw)

LMS Black 5 44871 has the road at Whittlesey, departing the station with a Norwich to Worcester rail tour on Saturday. On the line between Peterborough and Ely, the station also retains hand operated level crossing gates and its signal box.
URR 23, 22, 25, 16 lead the empty 66 coke train from Port Perry/Dexter yard are arriving back home into Clairton passing the C1 signal. 66 job ran on two shifts, they would run loads from Clairton to Braddock and to the CSX at Dexter yard. The midnight job would always take "dinner" at coal valley just north of Clairton until around about 7-730 and would then roll down into the mill to yard their train and tie up at 10am. Here the mid night train is running late and is rolling into the mill well behind schedule and would die while yarding the train.
