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.
Lake O'Hara is one of the best-preserved places in the Canadian Rockies. It sits high in the Canadian Rockies at an elevation of 2,020m (6,627 feet). It is a beautiful sub-alpine glacial lake surrounded by the towering peaks of the Canadian Rockies. There are so many accessible trails starting right from the lake, hikers can easily spend days here without getting bored. But 11-kilometer to the lake in one way from parking lot, you can either take the shuttle or hike in. If you are lucky to reserve the shuttle, you can spare this 22-kilometer walking, save the energy to climb 10~20 kilometers mountains. Access to Lake O’Hara is strictly controlled with a reservation system, which means that it is never crowded.
Luckily got camping reservation for 3 days, it was pure nature without cell signals and electricity. Unfortunately, it was raining and cloudy most of time, plus the forest fire from Jasper, the sky was covered with foggy most of time. Here is the view of Lake O'Hara and adjacent Mary Lake, the crystal-clear lakes, hanging valleys, towering snow-capped mountains, and the pristine nature that shows the best Yoho National Park has to offer.

While the Big Sandy still has a fair amount of C&O signals left, the main attraction is the intermediate at Bobbs (milepost 55). This signal holds the distinction of being the last active C&O signal bridge remaining. I doubt any one legacy signal bridge anywhere has attracted this much railfan attention since the final years of the MP 377 bridge on the east slope of Tehachapi Pass.
I've made a few attempts to shoot it in prior trips, but work windows or just plain bad timing has foiled those past efforts. With a well-timed M652 in the morning hours, capping the chase here was a no-brainer. The #2 track between SK Cabin and GC Cabin was ripped out last summer. Today this signal bridge only protects one track, so how long it will remain is anybody's guess.

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.
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.
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.
