I keep going back to this location and each time I go back there is a little bit less / more gone , very sad .
Former Nickel Plate Road style signals guard the crossing of the Norfolk Southern and Conrail routes in Muncie, Indiana, in June 1991. The Conrail line is the former New York Central Cleveland-St. Louis line and is now owned by CSX. (Scanned from a color negative)

Midland railway signal box being transported on the M1 by County Lifting of Kettering..it left at J15 and appeared to head east along the A45..July 10 2014.
Brayton Signal Box was a NER designed box that was situated south of Selby on the East Coast Main Line. It controlled rail traffic at Brayton Junction which was the route from Selby off to the port town of Goole which branched off the ECML. It became a Gate Box in 1973 controlling the level crossing and closed on 6th March 1988. The box has long been demolished.
56016 gets the signal to cross from the Down Main to Up Main at Shirebrook during the summer of 1978. The three Class 56s that can be seen on the "Runner" are 56009, 56015 & 56006. At the side of these are 08075, 08889 & 08269. 31301 & 31168 are in the "Lay-Bye"
The Green Bay trail is built on the former right-of-way of the Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee RR's "Shore Line", which was abandoned in 1955.
This pedestal was likely a signal base. It also could have been a pedestal for the overhead catenary. (The CNSM's Shore Line used mostly trolley wire, however in a 1930s modernization, a portion of the line in Winnetka received overhead catenary).
The boarded up grade II listed Pontypridd signal box (Rhondda Branch Junction signal box) closed in October 1998, with 230 levers it had a modified version of the McKenzie and Holland's type 3 design, situated between the Taff Vale Railway and the Rhondda Branch in the Welsh Valleys.
Pontypridd was at one point incredibly busy with freight trains carrying coal to Cardiff, Newport and Barry Docks from the Rhonnda and Aberdare Valleys, making Pontypridd one the busiest railway hubs in the country, all controlled from this box!
The last coal trains from the valleys passed through Pontypridd in May 2016.
Taken through the window of class 142 'Pacer' 142010 working the 13.36 Pontypridd-Treherbert service.
Taken whilst traveling on the excellent value for money £13 'Explore Cardiff & Valleys' Rail Ranger, this is one of the places i had never been to before and will probably never go back too.

A further box visit back in October 2015 was Ulceby Signal Box.
Ulceby had evolved to cover quite a significant area compared with its original area. It had a reduced frame and an IFS panel. There was also room for a panel to cover Brocklesby but this never happened.
Sadly the box was demolished with undue haste following closure, before the local S&T even had time to recover equipment for spares, the box coming down with everything still in place.
One of the new signals can be seen, ready for York ROC to take over.
The signal box (Stellwerk) at Kerzers in Switzerland is situated at a crossing of two lines at an acute angle. It was operational between 1896 and 2004. This photo dates from 3 September 1990.
The LNW type 4 Signal Box at Carterhouse junction,Widnes.
The box at Carterhouse Jct was built in 1896 & fitted with a 30 lever LNWR tumbler frame.
It was finally taken out of use in December 2006 & Demolished in April 2007.
The old signal box in Zollhaus-Blumberg is a relocated historic landmark. Originally standing in Konstanz, it was dismantled and reconstructed in its current location in Zollhaus-Blumberg/ Germany.

53/54/55/56 Route Levers, operated the circuit controllers adjacent to the main signal post for 38/52/57 signal via the mechanical detection in the points, which in turn selected the correct theatre route indicator and released the lever lock on the main signals.
This banner, most likely displayed back at home, incorporates the "For Service Over There" symbol along with the Signal Corps logo.

Arbroath North box still carries its old name-board today, even though it lost its South sibling in 1971.
The building and its setting look very different now, however. The signal box was altered under Railtrack's refurbishment programme, while the industrial premises which enclosed it to the north and east have long since gone.
The New Safetran Vader hood signal protecting the south end Opelika siding rises from an Approach to Clear signal this evening. This signal is the distant signal to a diamond crossing with rival railroad Norfolk Southern, and thus displays an Approach light when any northbound train is lined through on this CTC section of the A&WP/WofA Subdivision. Once the interlocker determines no NS trains are nearby, this signal will change to a Clear and give any oncoming CSX train green lights through this signal and over the one protecting diamond crossing.
Rain following by blowing snail coated these signals in white at the east end of the Perry siding by Davis Road. The signals are on the Lake District of Norfolk Southern.
This impressive looking structure always caught my eye. I loved its brutal simplicity and genius and how imposing it was. It also reduced visual clutter by attaching all the signals to one pole. It would come down about three years after this photo was taken as WES commuter rail necessitated its removal. The replacement mast arms (one at each corner, per usual) is a far less attractive setup.

It stands alone, its branches like arms outstretched, near the Cuyahoga River on Akron's north side.
Its massive trunk, its age-stained bark. Its scars of the past. The Signal Tree is a spectacular sight, but it swirls in mystery.
Who was it that "forced" its growth pattern? If age estimates of 350-560 years are to be believed, it may have been Native Americans that traveled through the area in that time frame, well before settlers came to the Western Reserve.
The famous "Portage Path" is in the area, a few miles away, where American Indians portaged their canoes between the north-flowing Cuyahoga River to the south-flowing Tuscarawas River. Indigenous peoples are known to use strangely shaped trees as boundary markers or directional landmarks, and as gathering places for ceremonies.
Seeing the tree today does invite the imagination to wander. According to Mike Greene of Summit Metroparks, there really is no way to confirm any of the legends.
"The key is determining its age," he said. "The tree may be ancient, or it may younger. No one knows because there are very few mentions of the oddly shaped tree in historic records."
For about a hundred years before the Summit Metroparks established the park on land owned by the city of Akron, the tree was located in an area that was dotted with residences. There were farms, and even a junkyard that was active into the 1960s. There are some early photos of the tree, but none have surfaced before the first half on the 20th century.
It's a calming place, and begs the mind to wander. Did Native Americans meet here or hold ceremonies around the tree? Did Civil War soldiers march by it? Did the workers and people who traveled along the Ohio and Erie Canal, which runs right through Akron, stop here?
The tree has seen Akron change from agricultural center to canal town to a manufacturing mecca during the Industrial Revolution. It's seen Akron grow to be the Rubber Capitol of the world, as well as its demise, and the rubber shops and surrounding manufacturing closed. Still, the whole while, standing in the Cuyahoga Valley with arms outstretched.
Baschurch Signal Box is situated about ten miles north of Shrewsbury on the former GWR's Paddington to Birkenhead main line. It was erected by Mckenzie & Holland for the Great Western Railway circa 1880. It was constructed to a standard design found throughout the railway network, the metal-framed, arched locking room windows being a distintive feature of such boxes. Being a road crossing box meant that it survived well beyond the closure of the wayside Baschurch station and goods yard (1960 & 1965 respectively) but was itself taken out of use in 1999, when road barriers were installed. The structure survives and is in the care of the Cambrian Railway Society.

Hammersmith railway station is a heritage railway station on the Midland Railway - Butterley in Derbyshire.
There was no station at this point originally, being situated on the Ambergate to Pye Bridge Line. However, when the line was reopened, the A38 road prevented any further westward extension.
Hammersmith is used as terminus with a run-around loop. Trains normally proceed from here eastwards without stopping at Butterley railway station which they left a few minutes previously. The location of the terminus allows passengers to cross the causeway over Butterley Reservoir.
There is no public access at this point; passengers are instead advised to use Butterley railway station.
The signal box at Hammersmith was originally at Kilby Bridge in Leicestershire. Built in 1900, it was closed by British Rail on 29 June 1986 and moved to the Centre in August 1986. It was re-erected at Hammersmith in 1987 and commissioned in September 1989. It is a standard Midland Railway type 3B 'box.
There has been some discussion that the line could be extended westwards under the A38 and onto Sawmills as finances allow.
