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.

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.

#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.

An extended weekend's tour of the western end of the Southern Region in 1977 saw us alight at Wareham, where we were generously invited into the signal box. At the time the box controlled the busy level crossing, as well access to the oil terminal sidings.

 

This shot features the frame and panel, and the proud Signalman on duty that day.

 

Fast forward and the level crossing was eventually replaced by a road over-bridge built just to the east, and the signal box closed in 2014 as part of the Poole to Wool resignalling project. So far as I can make out it is still in situ however.

 

For those interested, when I took the shot, Jimmy Carter was President of the US and James Callaghan was our Prime Minister.

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.

NS 227 took just long enough to make it's way to Harrisburg to allow me to get into position at Harris Tower.

 

They also caught a stop signal to allow work train to finish putting away their train. So after a brief pause, they get under way, and what else is there to do but drop the shutter nice and low?

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.
