The US&S R-2 displays clear while the CPL shows approach on this warm November evening in western North Carolina. Both of these signals have found a second life outside of protecting mainlines.
Starting signal at Merrygoen, New South Wales, a junction for trains working between Newcastle and western areas of the state. Late on the evening of Monday 28th December 2015, BRM002 leading SSR’s 4877 empty grain train to Nyngan prepares to depart. The signal and its associated electric staff safeworking system have since been replaced.
This signal controled the entrance into the remaining three platforms at Lowestoft.

Plenty of color for a rainy day at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine. The restoration shop in the background is where they take the historic trolley cars from all around the U.S. and bring them back to life. The museum ticket includes free trolley rides and fun stories from the guides.
The Southern Railway made good use of redundant lengths of bullhead rail, reusing it for many applications, such as sign posts, fencing posts, and signals. An example of the distinctive design of rail built signal is seen here at Havenstreet, Isle of Wight Steam Railway, 17th October 2019.
Lowton station and Junction signal box looking north towards Wigan in March 1957. The station had closed back in September 1949, the box being abolished with the opening of the power box at Warrington in 1972.

Out in the Utah desert, the 'new' intermediate signals look just as beat up as the old ones. The signals were placed but never installed due to the downturn in traffic on the old Rio Grande.

Walking the tracks, fun times.. always remember to pay attention though and never walk on the tracks with headphones on...
this I almost learned the hard way.

Scotrail "Inter7City" HST 43127 (with 43015 powering at the rear) working 1A79 09:30 Edinburgh to Aberdeen passing Arbroath signal box and Wellgate level crossing on 15th September 2023. The 1911 North British Railway-built cantilevered signal box officially became simply Arbroath signal box in 1971 when the South signal box was closed, although it still bears its original nameboard.

I took this from the edge of the Nerima-Takanodai platform of Seibu Ikebukuro Line.
I took a picture of six pieces in the bracket at 1/1000 seconds at this time. This signal lit at intervals of one piece when the taken shot was seen. In a word, this signal had blinked at high speed as it was not possible to confirm it by eyes. I was surprised.

夕焼けです。ぼくはこれを西武池袋線の練馬高野台駅のホームの端から撮りました。
ぼくはこの時1/1000秒で6枚をブラケット撮影しました。撮ったショットを見てみると、なんと信号が1枚おきに点灯しているのです。つまり、この信号は目に見えないほど高速に点滅していたのです。驚きました。
The substantial Caledonian Railway type N3 signal box at Fouldubs Junction was built in 1908 with a 77 lever frame that was increased to 80 levers in 1951 before being reduced to 40 levers in 1972 after the locking was overhauled. It stands at the junction of the one time Orchardhall branch which wasn't actually a branch but a through line to Falkirk via Bainsford Junction. It was the fact either end belonged to different companies the North British and the Caledonian which got it the designation a branch line. It closed in 1968 as a through route although the eastern end between the British Aluminium Plant at Orchardhall and here at Fouldubs Junction remained operational until 1991. The box is located on the freight only Grangemouth branch and now just controls movements towards Grangemouth Docks and Grangemouth Oil Refinery as well as adjacent freight terminal sidings.
Being a freight line I guess there was plenty of spare time between trains hence the signalman's splendid array of Geraniums in the box windows and the raised bed veg plot at the foot of the box steps.
One day I suppose these old semaphore signals will go.

The tri-head signal at the N. Market Interlocking on the TRRA has been upgraded to a modern style and has been moved from the south side of N. Market St. to the north side.
I'll never understand signal positioning: in the old location, the signal could be seen from a long way off to the south. In this new position, it can't be seen until the train rounds the Ryerson Steel building.

An LMR Type 15 box commisioned in 1965 and controlling the line between Congleton (Stoke-on-Trent SCC) and Prestbury (Manchester South SCC).
It doesn't appear to have had any TLC for some years judging by the cracking brickwork and rotting timbers.

This is a male Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus), introduced to Britain from North America in the 1960s. Unfortunately these animals carried a disease that proved fatal to our native White-clawed Crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes), which are increasingly rare in Britain. I spotted several in one of my local streams. I removed this large male and popped him on the bank to phpotograph him. He was rather feisty and backed into a corner waving his open claws at me. I crouched down low and managed to get a shot showing the bright orange underside of his claws. Here is a photograph of the rare native White-clawed Crayfish showing its smaller, pale claws www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/9831997276/
Amtrak's westbound No. 353, a Wolverine Service train, splits a pair of intermediate signals in Chelsea, Michigan, as it barrels through at 79 mph.
Goal: A collegiate leadership retreat called "interesect." To play off the name the theme this year is "Signals." Calling us to pause and reflect at the interesections of our lives.
Audience: collegiate leaders
Direction: continue forward with the retreat name intersect
Project: front of a mailer
Other important info: I like candy
This left arrow retrofit kit probably wasn't compatible with this old traffic signal head, so the engineer decided to mount it on its own separate mast attachment. This signal is so old I can't even identify its manufacturer.
The imposing signal box at Aberystwyth, was the largest supplied by Dutton & Co. to the Cambrian Railway. Opened in 1893 and to the Dutton type 2 design with roofed porch/landing, it originally contained a Dutton frame of 78 levers, which was replaced in Great Western days with a 100 lever Horizontal Tappet frame. Note the wonderful concrete post lower quadrant bracket signals provided by the GWR, which were replacements for the original Dutton signals. The one on the right was later replaced with a tubular post bracket signal by the London Midland Region. Aberystwyth signal box closed on 25th April 1982.
Seen through the woods, this railway signal has been abandoned and is falling apart. The Greenbelt Pathway that I use often during the summer is just across the railway. I have seen this abandoned signal before, looking kind of sad, but I was never able to get a good view of it from the pathway on other side of the railway. The top signal is facing towards the woods and the bottom signal is facing downwards towards the ditch alongside the railway. The numerical plate under the signals reads "144". I took a few different photos of this signal from different angles. The other photos can be found in my recent additions gallery along with a few other photos that aren't posted to my PBlog gallery.
