Bridgnorth signal box located on platform 1 at Bridgnorth railway station on the Severn Valley Railway. Tuesday 29th May 2012
Bridgnorth signal box is a Great Western Railway Company type 28b design fitted with a 30 lever Great Western Railway Company Vertical Tappet 3-bar frame opened as a non block post by the Severn Valley Railway in 1970. The signal box was built on the site of the previous signal box using a top moved from Pensnett signal box and a lever frame moved from Windmill End Junction signal box. The signal box was upgraded to a block post on 2nd June 1973. It was temporarily closed from 25th September 1977 until 6th August 1978 during which time a temporary block post was located in station masters office
The signal box carries a Great Western Railway Company pattern cast iron nameplate

Liskeard Signal Box is located on the down side of the line adjacent to the main lines at Liskeard station. The box was built in 1915 to GW 27 design. It also has a 36 lever GW HT3 frame from the same date. The box controls a mix of colour lights and lower quadrant semaphores, the most notable of which is LD3 which is a centre balance signal. Liskeard SB works TCB to Plymouth and Lostwithiel as well as controlling the branch line down to Looe.
This is the really nice signal box thry're working on at GVR. They've done a really nice job so far and it really looks the part.

To the left of the picture is a narrow short box structure made from pieces of scrap corrugated iron and blankets. There is an old armchair, writing table and desk sitting outside the structure. Two soldiers are kneeling beside the chairs. They have a telescope, a sight and telegraph equipment set up.
communication methods ranged from carrier pigeons and runners to the relatively new technology of telephones and radio.

I believe that the bricks used for the construction of this box came from Whitby Signal Box a wonderful tall structure. It's a shame that when I visited Whitby I didn't take a photo of Whitby box.
Signal Hill is a small city embedded in the larger city of Long Beach, in the Los Angeles, California, area. It's named after a prominent hill with a commanding view. In 1921, the Long Beach Oilfield was found under the cities of Long Beach and Signal Hill. For a decade or so, this was one of the most productive oil fields in the world. The field is now largely depleted and only a few wells remain. In Signal Hill, California, on June 18, 2015.
The transmitter site of KSPN/710 AM, which was known in its glory years (1930 to 1997) as KMPC. It has in recent years been the West Coast flagship station for ESPN, with all-sports programming, including Los Angeles Lakers play-by-play.
It has long been 50,000 watts by day and 10,000 watts by night, and directional at night, using all three towers, to the south-southwest, across Los Angeles.
The facility sits on a large spread of land in the center of the San Fernando Valley (specifically, Valley Glen): land that is in the middle of suburbs and surely more valuable than the station itself at this point, as listening to the AM band is tanking.
This is surely why the owner, Disney, received a construction permit to move to the four-tower facility of KRDC/1110 in Irwindale, east of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley. There it will be 35,000 watts by day and 2,500 watts by night: a smaller signal (especially at night) from a lesser location.
After that happens, this land will be sold, and the towers will come down. My bet, as I write this (the same day I shot it in April 2021), is that Disney will move KSPN's programming to the much bigger signal on 1110 AM (50,000 watts by day and 20,000 watts by night), and put something else on the new smaller signal on 710 AM.
So I shot these because I wanted to make sure the facility was honored photographically before it was gone.
I just noticed i never posted pics from Signal festival here. Great light sculptures were placed all over the Prague.
In Kadıköy, Istanbul. Similar to California-style traffic signal, and with red and green light countdown aspect.
This is a view of a typical New York signal. Typical NY signals are all black or forest green (though yellow signals are seen in urban areas like Albany, NY City and Rochester) and are mounted on spanwires. Almost all signals in NY (except for some of those in Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, and Buffalo) have been updated to LED's. This is at the southern end of NY 156 at NY 85A in Voorheesville, NY.
Went up on Signal Hill this past week with one of the younger guys from my church. He's been getting into photography a little bit so I gave him one of my D90 bodies and we went out shooting. Not a great sunset, but we had some nice light for a while and it was a lovely evening so can't complain really. Got a couple of shots that I was happy with so figured I would share.
All shot with my D90 and 17-55mm f/2.8 lens.
Howden station located 1 mile north of howden,this is a main station on the line even though its in the middle of nowhere (as stations often were). Howden had 2 stations the other station was in the town centre but was on the hull barnsley line so went under the beeching axe. The signal box is now a listed building but stands sorry for itself all boarded up.
The station is split by the road the up platform is on the west side and the down platform is on the east side.
Barry signal box, August 2013 - Evans, O'Donnel & Company Ltd signalling equipment contractors' plaque seen on side of the signal box, which likely dates back to the opening of the box, circa 1897
Brocklesby station and signal box sseen just before closure of the box in October 2015 just before York ROC took over control of the area.
The box is a curiosity, not only is it sunk into the island platform but its panel was intended as an emergency one that could switch in and out as required. The box was to close and Ulceby would have taken over the immediate area, however Brocklesby Signal Box remained and the panel took its place within the huge box, whose levers were removed and the frame boarded over, but it still remained beneath.

Maryland is REALLY REALLY lazy about replacing lightblubs... This was one of dozens of signals I saw that had inoperable lights.
Downpatrick Signal Cabin was formerly at Kingsbog Jct on the LMS(NCC) main line. Recently acquired Class 450 DEMU set is stabled opposite.
This disused tramways signal box on the corner of Swanston, Franklin and Victoria Streets in Melbourne is heritage-listed by the National Trust. This area is soon to be redeveloped, so I thought I'd better take a photo of this building, lest it be demolished.
