- www.kevin-palmer.com - I couldn't quite make it to the top of Signal Mountain in time for sunset. The snow started off firm but then it became soft and I was postholing 3 feet with every step. This was the best view I could manage.
A small signal light sits along the active rail lines headed through Thurmond WV. I'm not sure what this type of signal is called.....the one in the foreground......nor what it would be for. If someone knows, I'd love to learn more about it. I just noticed that it was lit up and snagged a picture as we were readying to leave towards our next destination.

The smoke signal is one of the oldest forms of long-distance communication. It is a form of visual communication used over a long distance. In general smoke signals are used to transmit news, signal danger, or to gather people to a common area.

Westbound Norfolk Southern manifest 13Q splits the matched pair of bracket mast former NYC signals at CD 309 on the NS Chicago Line outside Swanton, OH on the evening of August 4, 2016. These signals are the last of their kind in the state of Ohio and are living on borrowed time.
In a golden sunset, an AC is in charge of a small eastbound train 408, as they split the signals crossing the border from New Brunswick into Nova Scotia. I was standing on the Nova Scotia side, at Fort Lawrence.
It doesnt happen very often, but in this instance, I was able to get multiple shots of the exact same train, at the same location, even using the same lens.
Here are the other two shots:
Although similar, each photo has a different scene, and feel to it. Well, it does to me anyway..

Ex Lancashire & Yorkshire Class 27 No.52322 passes Windermere Lakeside's signal box with a short goods train.
A sight that will (possibly) soon become history in Henrietta, a westbound NS intermodal train passes between the two sets of signals near the abandoned Lexington Road Bridge. A new set of vaders wait patiently across the right-of-way from the old color light signals that once replaced the Wabash searchlights. The vaders were erected a couple of years ago, so the time the color lights fall could be anyone's guess.

blagged night photographer and graham to stop at this location and ended up staying for a good few hours
This flagpole was once used in the old harbour to signal which were incoming and which were outgoing ships. It later was used as a meteorological station and moved to this location after it had no further use. It now marks the location of Pong Patchamit Fort
I have uploaded this picture just to explore the interesting situation outlined in an earlier upload on my site.
37250+37087 begin to back 7M71, the steel “blooms” from Lackenby into the British Steel plant, Workington on 1 May 1984. It seems odd that this move is delaying the passage of the passenger train (there are passengers on board its not ecs) seen here held at Moss Bay Iron Works' outer down home signal.
The most likely explanation for this is a signalling fault explored in the image below
An ex-Chessie GP40-2 leads CSX L394 out of Ottawa, Illinois passing one of the last active Rock Island TP-5 signals left in existence which today is nothing more than an approach signal for the IR diamond in town. CSX inherited the New Rock Subdivision from the Chessie which assumed control of this portion of the Rock Island mainline in August of 1980. Today, the New Rock spans roughly 55 miles between Joliet and Utica is one of the most profitable lines on the entire CSX system despite its relative isolation from the rest of the railroad.
Cascades train 506 awaits a highball at Vancouver, Washington in May 2013. The triple-stacked searchlight signals were replaced a few years later.
These two friends were really enjoying the great views and taking pics of each other on a nice, clear Southern California afternoon.

I am glad that I was able to take three colors or more at the same time.
By the way, the world's first signal seemed to be installed in the London city in 1868, but seems to have exploded immediately.
On June 14, 2013 in Minamitanaka, Nerima ward.

ところで、世界で最初の信号機は1868年にロンドン市内に設置されたそうですが、すぐに爆発してしまったそうです。

Lane signals on the Ben Franklin Bridge - Kodak Portra 160 - Canon EOS Rebel G - Camden, NJ - scanned on Epson V600.
These signalling platforms were a nautical version of railway semaphore signals and were used to communicate with steamships entering the port of Cardiff during the late 19th century.
