Instow railway station was a railway station in the village of Instow, North Devon, England, on the Bideford Extension of the North Devon Railway. Opened in November 1855, the station closed to passengers in 1965, but the line remained open for freight until 1982. The signal box has been preserved as a working attraction. The Atlantic Coast Express used to go through the station on its way to Torrington, but it did not call at Instow.
The former site of the railway tracks is now part of the Tarka Trail.
While switching a customer the afternoon crew nears the eastward distant approach signal for the CSX diamond at Wilson.
a man paused mid-step, caught between sand and signal. headphones wrapped him in silence, the screen offered a world quieter than the sea behind him. the promenade kept moving. he didn’t.
Several Canadian National guards man the east side of Durand, Michigan if you approach. This was once the Grand Truck main line between Detroit and Chicago. New "Safe-T" signals provide the Christmas y feel.

Visited on my return from east Texas this year.
It's a peculiar build of steel plate fastened with bolts resulting in a ribbed appearance. Fascinating. Finished in black and white to show off its corduroy appearance.
Today, it's a platform for wireless antennas, signals.

Abandoned cottage in the military range on the drive down to Stack Rocks in Pembrokeshire. The sky was a horrible murky grey, neither moody nor clear, not ideal but needs must when you dont have the luxury of a revisit I guess.

Night view of Caprotti valve gear fitted British Railways Standard Class 5MT 73129 on the approach to Swanwick Junction station, Midland Railway Centre. Those of you that know the location may notice that I've done some repairs to the signals on the left... Seen during a 30742 Charters event.
Computer issues at South Lyon after meeting counter part L303 caused over an hour delay which during this time of year really takes away a lot of photo possibilities. With shadows at every other signal east of here. L302 passes the 64.4 signals between Webberville and Fowlerville in some mint afternoon golden light that was very rapidly falling behind the trees.
I might not have time to do a full "year in review" this year, but -- then again -- I'm not sure I took enough photos throughout the year to do one!
That said, certainly the highlight of my photography year was a three-day trip to Virginia with Brian Plant. In 2017, I had a very brief introduction to NS's H-Line north of Roanoke while on my way home from a work conference in Tennessee. I always wanted to go back, but -- with a wife and son at home -- finding the time always made that difficult. When NS started replacing the steam-era CPL signals on the line, however, I knew that time was of the essence. This year, Brian Plant offered to do the driving if I met him partway down, so -- with my wife's blessing -- we were off!
I figured Sunday, April 14th would just be a travel day, so I was very pleasantly surprised when Brian and I were able to catch up to southbound Train 13Z and the weather cooperated! Here, the train knocks down the CPL signal at Arcadia -- my favorite location on the line.
Recently, NS replaced the CPL signals here, so this shot was just in time for sure!

Sam pointed out this neat dwarf signal at the diamond, and since the RoadRailer had yet to gain speed, I ran across with the fisheye to get a shot. One of my favorites from the weekend.

The Signal gasoline station, now Signal Pizza in St. John's neighborhood of Portland, was built and opened in 1939 as a gas station for the Signal Oil Company. It was in operation as a gas station until 1984, but changed brand from Signal Gas to Hellman's Golden Eagle Gas Station in 1954 and, in turn, became a Chevron station in 1965.

This was made during a recently completed photography tour of Japan that I hosted with Rohan Reilly.
As I don't often get an opportunity to speak to other photographers, I feel fortunate to have hosted such an accomplished group of photographers and, more than that, just a fine and funny group of people.
Unidentified Radio Signal
Interplanetary Travel
Hello everyone from deep space. In the dark vacuum of space, I take a short break from my mind's visit to my past for a while as I drive my spacecraft to the planet I first visited. I would love to be able to describe to you the feeling that surrounds my body and soul with the radio signals I received years after I discovered and made my first planetary visit while searching for a planet suitable for life in my deep space journey. Although I thought for a long time, unfortunately I could not find the word suitable for this mood. I am very hopeful about this situation. There is a possibility that I may encounter a civilization after a long time. Moreover, I would live on the planet I had discovered and made my first visit. At least that's what I was hoping for. I had unique experiences during my time on that planet. That planet has been my new home for a long time, accompanied by unique space landscapes. However, despite my long time on the planet and my scientific research, I have not found any traces of life. It was a very unusual situation for that planet, which was quite suitable for life. Since it is the first planet I have visited yet, I did not feel negative about this situation. Having made the discovery of a planet suitable for life had increased my hope that I would find a planet with living things and even civilizations on it in the future. However, it did not. I have always encountered the same landscape in my planetary explorations suitable for new life that I have made over the course of time. Silence and nothingness. However, I was starting to come across many traces of past life on the planets I visited. Some habitats left over from civilizations that have left their home planets over time. As much as this excited me, it also caused a lot of questions in my mind. Why did these civilizations leave their planets? I was very curious about the answer to this question. When I was preparing a new route for myself after a long time in space, there was an unexpected development. I had picked up a radio signal from outer space. And this radio signal was coming from the planet I first visited years ago. This had taken me by surprise. As a result of the research, discovery and scientific analyzes I have done during my time on the planet, I have not come across any trace of life. There must be something I overlooked. Or this radio signal was a non-artificial one. Still, I didn't want to miss this opportunity. And I started this long journey by getting on my spacecraft. I was going back to my first planetary exploration. And there was still a long space of space ahead of me.
