Apologies for picture quality its a grabbed shot taken on my mobile phone while stationary between windscreen wiper sweeps in a snow storm.
With Peak Forest being 984ft above sea level it goes without saying in the winter it snows but the morning of the 8th was rather challenging as heavy snow showers persisted until day break. This shot was taken from the cab of 66 092 working 6L75 the 04.15 Dove Holes Quarry to Ely Potter Group Freight Depot. The train was already an hour late at this stage after delays loading and incurred further delay while the local on call p-way de-iced the down sidings ground frame and cleared the points of snow to enable a run round. Not the best weather to be doing run rounds......what on earth have I signed up to !
As close as I dare go to the ominous cell phone tower on top of the hill.... Topeka Kansas.

A 2-car DMU departs for Norwich around 1970. Although the signal box and semaphore signals remain, the footbridge has long-since gone, as have the crossing gates.

It is very easy to take for granted everyday scenes, especially with regard to infrastructure. Living in Malvern means that you still have semaphore signals very locally plus Worcester and Droitwich along with a fair bit of the Welsh Marches. In Worcester a number of semaphores have been removed over the last few years and some have become inaccessible due to footpath closures and other developments.

CP 484 splits the older signals along with their Safetrans replacements along York Road in Bensenville. With the new Irving Park flyover nearly complete, the new-style signals will be swung around and activated soon. A freshly-repainted Union Pacific C40-8W was leading the way along Fortress O'Hare.

This was an interesting location a few decades ago with a multitude of freight traffic running to and from the Stanlow oil refinery and other associated freight locations nearby.
The small signal box at Yalding dated from 1894 and at the time was a fringe box to Tonbridge in the south and Wateringbury to the north on the Medway Valley line. It was a Saxby and Farmer type 12a box and fitted with a 27 lever frame. The sidings to the adjacent agro-chemical factory had closed in the 1970's and by 1981 the box was just controlling the crossing and a block section on the branch to Maidstone West. With just an hourly passenger service and a few through freights rationalisation came in 1986 when the crossing was converted to an AOCL Automatic Open Level Crossing. The block section was abolished with Tonbridge panel box fringing with Wateringbury instead. The box closed on 22/06/86 being demolished almost immediately. The open crossing proved problematic because of its location beside the station and after several near misses with pedestrians and several accidents with trains striking cars the crossing was upgraded to ABCL with barriers.
With the CN and NS dispatcher giving approval, this westbound Norfolk Southern manifest begins to pull across the diamond behind a pair of C44-9Ws.
An unidentified Q6 wheezes past the wonderful gantry by Tyne Dock shed with a long train of hoppers. Only a few upper quadrant signals have replaced the original North Eastern lower quadrant examples.

Denton Village Crossing is one of the many and varied crossings on the former NER route between Carlisle and Newcastle. This one – pictured looking east in February 2009 - had a crossing keeper with manually controlled gates and a ground frame with semaphore stop and distant signals.
The signals were normally in the off position with gates closed to road traffic but I was fortunate to capture them at danger while a car crosses. The signals were removed just a few months after this picture was taken as part of the area’s re-signalling project, based on the new signalling centre at Low Row, however the gate keeper was retained.
The signal post on the left (for the up direction) is slightly unusual (though similar to one at Low Row). It’s constructed of a welded steel frame stem surmounted by a tubular post, surprisingly - in this exposed location - not in need of any “guy ropes”. To the right of the image, the down signal looks like it has an original NER square wooden post but that is tethered by three stabilising wires.
Few warning signals in nature are as blatant as the colors of the Aquatic Coral Snake (Micrurus surinamensis), and for good reason: it possesses a highly potent neurotoxic venom. Unique among South American elapid snakes, its venom appears to be specialized for its favored prey of fish and eels, although can undoubtedly be fatal for mammals as well. They are, however, very non-aggressive and bite only when attacked or accidentally stepped on – the latter of which is rare thanks to their gaudy coloration. Yasuní National Park, Ecuador.
It is the first Christmas illuminations this year. Here is crowded every year. I can watch this slowly now.
In Tokyo, I still wear a T-shirt every day because it is hot.

Cambus (nr Stirling) old station remains - just a crumbling platform - and signals on the freight only line on 16/6/85. This line would re-open to passengers being the Stirling-Alloa , in 2008.
The signal box at Welshpool - from the train, 30/6/83. The netting and posts are possibly ex- tablet catchers?

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.

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.
