I put these together for several reasons. The signal light from a bus showing direction, the signal light at the intersection showing who can procede, and the sun rising, the signal of a new day. To me they signal progressing forward.
Heckington near Sleaford on the line from Lincoln to Skegness is the most perfect of country stations. A level crossing, functional signal box and semaphore signals and of course the 8 sail windmill.
This is Malton Signal Box and is a NE S1a type from circa 1873. It has an IFS (Individual Function Switch) panel dating from 1966 but was extended 1993 when the box took over control of Heslerton and Rillington areas. All signals here are colour lights and the crossing is operated from a barrier control unit inside the box. The box works Absolute Block to Weaverthorpe and Kirkham Abbey.
By this point the snow was coming down fast but I think it is a nice addition to the shot.
Signal box at the old Bury St. Edmunds goods yard. I guess this is now unused judging by the state of the track.
Union Switch & Signal cast their logo and name into the face of this cast iron pedestal-style position light signal. I wonder how old this unit is.
Signals and a switch target on the Illinois & Midland Railroad, next to the Illinois Higher Speed Rail corridor.
Semaphore Signal of the lower quadrant type
Semiphore comes from a French word, meaning...ummm something :-)
From Signal Timing Schedule for Traffic Control Plan, June 15, 1929.
Attempted "green wave": 8.5mph on Market; 50 vara district: 10.5 mph north-south, 14.5 mph east-west; 100 vara district: 14.5mph north-south, 20.5mph east-west.
They were very concerned in this plan about whether people would accept having the WALK signal not be at exactly the same time and for the same length as the green light, and decided it wasn't worth risking making them any different. At the start of reading it, my own anxieties made me think they were trying to introduce demand actuation or exclusive turn phases, but really they just wanted to acknowledge that the WALK signal needs to end a few seconds earlier because it takes longer for pedestrians to cross. They also were thinking of having the WALK on the left hand side begin before the green light since there would not be a conflict on that side with vehicles that had been waiting to turn.
The Geology Roadshow visited the Signal Tower Museum in March, 1995. In the picture were, from left - Carolyn Cooper, Joe Prescott, Margaret Thompson, museum assistant; Terry Gilhooley and Ron Marr. (Photographer unknown)
My new signalbox which is based on a British Railways (London Midland Region) standard design - type 15 design, sits in the vee of lines - the left hand being what I have named as the "branch" (a single line which also forms the headshunt for the WRD and feeds into the fiddle yard), and the right hand lines which are the up and down main lines into and out of the station and the fiddle yard.
Theres lots to do detailing wise. I need to add an interior and maybe lighting, more cable trunking, a signalman, a toilet, and other clutter.

David Nalbandian signals to his doubles partner Andy Roddick during their match with Juan Martin Del Potro and Radek Stepanek. Del Potro & Stepanek won 6-3, 6-4.
Day 2 of the 2011 Aegon Championships, Queen's Club.
The light trails are not from a train, they are from cars on the road paralleling the tracks. This is a bridge (overpass above a road) that carries both the railroad and a street. I tried this with a train too, but it shook the bridge, and the camera, too much.

This isn’t the first doodle I ever drew, but it’s the oldest one I have a copy of. This was done as the cover of the “senior edition” of my high school newspaper. I never penciled anything out before I started drawing (and, to be honest, I still don’t), so it was a pretty big task to jump into. Any mistakes instantly became part of the final picture. Good times indeed
Leganagh Point signal tower, part of a network of signal towers built around the coast of ireland, each in sight of the next. If an invasion was seen approaching, a fire would be lit, and the message passed around the coast all the way to Dublin. Two more modern look-out huts can be seen behind, used during world wars 1 and 2.
Goulburn was all semaphore signals, controlled from 4 signal boxes until 1979, when it was re-signalled. A new power signalbox was built to control Goulburn and Joppa Junction. In 2009 control of Goulburn interlocking was transferred to Junee control centre, and Goulburn box was closed.
Until the Goulburn resignalling, colour light signals were always mounted roughly around train windscreen height, to keep them within easy sight of train drivers. Gantry mounted signals were slung below the gantry to achieve this. The Goulburn resignalling was the first time in NSW (that I know of) that colour light signals were mounted above the gantry, well above train height. Apparently this was to allow for future electrification, which had been proposed in the early 1970s. The practice continued elsewhere on the main south and other lines, although the current reason is to allow for future double stacking of containers.
A look at the computer based Signalling in Meadmore Junction that is being developed. Currently the Pine Tree Loop is being used on this system while the Meadmore Junction area is still being run from the old Switch Panel.
