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.

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.

Signal Hill, Cape Town

Single unit northbound B&O 4171 leads the way at Deshler, Ohio, back when the signal bridges were still in place - March 1986.

Fog signal at 40 Mile Point Light house on lake Huron.

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.

Made an interesting signal in the sky. This is the cooling tower of Neckarwestheim nuclear powerplant (nowadays decommissioned but not yet disassembled). Made for kind of an x-form - got thinner before then expanding into quite a billow.

St. John's, NL. Canada

Union Pacific’s Sharp - Valmy coal train splits Rio Grande GRS Type D intermediate signals 7121 - 7122, approaching American Fork, Utah the afternoon of June 4, 1987.

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.
