On the former Hayling Island (Hayling Billy) Line at the north end of the island, just before the remains of the trestle viaduct that connected the line to the mainland. Restored in 2015, it is now showing signs of wear and tear due to it's exposed location and - sadly - vandalism.
Another picture of the same signal, from a few years back, for comparison:
Barry signal box, August 2013. A large building which housed 77 lever frames in 1957, but has just 4 active semaphore levers in use today. It would have been a very busy signal box in its day, with coal traffic to Barry Docks and passenger services to Barry Island. Sadly, after 116 years of service, it is due to be decommissioned in January 2014. Aberthaw signal box was closed down in early 2013, and other signal boxes in South Wales including Ystrad Mynach and Bargoed on the Rhymney line, are scheduled to be decommissioned in September 2013. This is the result of modernisation by Network Rail, where all signalling will soon be controlled from Cardiff.

The semaphore signals are to be removed with the final full day of operation being on the 26th February 2024 with the last train signalled at 00.07 on the 27th. Then the bells and levers that have operated from here since 1899 will fall silent forever.
Chacewater signal box on the Down (towards Penzance) platform at Chacewater railway station
Chacewater signal box was a Great Western Railway Company type 7d design fitted with a 35 lever Great Western Railway Company Vertical Tappet 3-bar frame that was ordered in March 1912. It was inspected on 17th November 1914 and replaced an earlier signal box. A 2 lever miniature frame was installed at some time to operate the detonator placers and a British Railways Western Region key control instrument was commissioned on 10th March 1957 controlling 100 signal (up intermediate block). The signal box closed on 12th June 1977 when the absolute block section was extended to between Truro and Drump Lane signal boxes

The signals are almost all made by US&S. Portland's light rail uses an interesting route signaling system with these sorts of automatic block signals along open rail. Where the trains run on the streets neat pre-empt signals that use vertical bar for go and horizontal bar for stop are used, to distinguish them from vehicular signals.

At Abergynolwyn station, on the Talyllyn railway. As we discovered today, the world's first preserved railway, and now part of the latest UK unesco world heritage site - illustrating the heritage of the slate industry.
We also discovered that those green and yellow cases are to store the tokens - as a single line with passing places, this is how they make sure the trains don't occupy the same part of the track at the same time.

Austrac's 4814 leads a T and three EL class locos from the Cowra line to the Main South at Demondrille back in 2002. The signal box, then used whenever there was a branch line movement, has since been made redundant with new signalling.
This mighty oak has, since the early 1800s, been called the Indian Signal Tree. It is shaped like a candelabrum---or a three-pointed fork. The puzzle is, was it shaped by accident, by an act of God or by a human hand? This magnificent tree is more than 100 feet high and has an average spread of 75 feet. It is believed to be 250 to 300 years old. Most experts believe the oak was manipulated into this shape when it was small, by Indians who were known to do this to mark their trails.
