CP 8100; the first AC4400CWM rebuild sports some replaced numberboards as it leads 421 through the signals and around the bend at Rosedale.
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。

A westbound Northeast Regional train flies towards Edison Station, passing under a signal gantry chock full of Position Color Lights (colorized Position Lights, not to be confused with Color Position Lights used by the B&O).
On a rail transport system, signalling control is the process by which control is exercised over train movements by way of railway signals and block systems to ensure that trains operate safely, over the correct route and to the proper timetable. Signalling control was originally exercised via a decentralised network of control points that were known by a variety of names including signal box (International and British), interlocking tower (North America) and signal cabin (some railways e.g., GCR). Currently these decentralised systems are being consolidated into wide scale signalling centres or dispatch offices. Whatever the form, signalling control provides an interface between the human signal operator and the lineside signalling equipment. The technical apparatus used to control switches (points), signals and block systems is called interlocking.
This is the now obsolete one at Glenfinnon in Scotland
Shrewsbury, one of only a handful of locations on the UK rail network where semaphore signals are still in use. In the background is the mighty Severn Bridge Junction signal box, the largest operational mechanical signal box in the world.

On an overcast January afternoon, CSX 4561 guides an ethanol train under the classic NYC searchlight signals in Depew, New York.
Eastbound absolute signal at Tuner (formerly NI) in West Chicago. This is how CNW signals should look, with horizontal signal heads. Note that two have been replaced. I think this is the only bridge left on the Geneva Sub with these signal heads.
URR 23, 22, 25, 16 lead the empty 66 coke train from Port Perry/Dexter yard are arriving back home into Clairton passing the C1 signal. 66 job ran on two shifts, they would run loads from Clairton to Braddock and to the CSX at Dexter yard. The midnight job would always take "dinner" at coal valley just north of Clairton until around about 7-730 and would then roll down into the mill to yard their train and tie up at 10am. Here the mid night train is running late and is rolling into the mill well behind schedule and would die while yarding the train.
Another fantastic night in the Tetons! Last night we went up to Signal Mountain to see a stunning display of stars. I found it fitting to 'signal' the Andromeda universe, a satellite joined in for the fun too.
I'll be leaving the area soon, still undecided where to go. I have a few weeks to explore before my next workshop back in the Tetons (still some space left btw)

The exhausts of Direct Rail Services 37716 powering at the front, and 37425 powering at the rear, drift away down the Nidd Gorge as they pass Knaresborough signal box and cross the viaduct working 3S29 08:27 York Works to York Works via Hellifield RHTT on a damp and dismal 27th November 2022. Opened by the North Eastern Railway in 1872, Knaresborough’s Grade II-listed signal box is unusual in that it was built onto an established row of terraced houses on Kirkgate, adjacent street level crossing. In its later years this has primarily been a manually operated pedestrian boarded crossing, with wicket gates secured by the signaller. The station subway provides an alternative route for pedestrians when the gates are locked, to permit the passage trains. The box has a small twelve-lever McKenzie & Holland frame on the party wall side, which must offer some degree of disturbance to the neighbouring property! This frame was installed circa 1949/1950 using spares and replaced the original frame that would have been fitted to the front of the box facing the railway. The first floor of the box was rebuilt around 1890, around the time the original mid-19th century station was rebuilt.

The north track of CN's Chicago Subdivision has been removed between Oakwood and 21st Street, leaving 16th Street Crossing a bit less cluttered and this signal guarding nothing. Behind it on the St Charles Air Line, Amtrak's southbound 'Illini' clunks across Metra's Rock Island District.

ROG Class 37 No.37800 "Cassiopeia" comes off the relief freight line at Hereford onto the Down main passing the impressive Hereford signal box. This is the 5Q79 Barton Under Needwood to Landore unit drag comprising TfW Class 175 3-car unit No. 175109, with 37608 at the rear.
DCR 60046 awaits at Chesterfield a signal to return south after using the station to carry out a reversal .
On a hike to Yant Flat north of St George, Utah, the view north to Signal Peak with its remaining snow caught my admiration. Signal Peak (10,369') is the highest point in the Pine Valley Mountains.
Approaching Smethwick Junction Signal Box on an utterly miserable Sunday morning is 37225 with a freight train diverted from the Lickey route which was closed for engineering work. The signal man warned us it was coming and said it was a Bescot to Severn Tunnel Junction.
Today the old closed station of Smethwick West is approached via this ramp but in 1979 the correct way was through the road level booking office. Of course the signal box has now gone, all Stourbridge trains would have come through the tunnel and started at Birmingham New Street. Today they emerge from the line to the left having stopped at the new Galton Bridge station, this is now the Jewellery Line and for the core of the route (Tyseley to Stourbridge Junction) it has a 10 minute service.
37225 was built at the English Electric Vulcan Foundry as D6925, it was delivered new to 87E Landore depot 07/02/1964. it was withdrawn 28/02/2004 and cut by C.F. Booth at Rotherham 10/06/2004.
This picture has never been printed, I took 2 frames and prefered the second with the loco passing the signal box today I would have taken this version as my favourite.

Plight of the Pantanal: A Wetland on Fire !
The Pantanal is burning uncontrollably. Animals are dying.
Jaguars are dying.
The Pantanal Survival Fund is putting boots on the ground, employing those left jobless due to COVID and lack of tourism, creating fire breaks, putting out fires, buying protective gear, paying for veterinary attention for rescued wildlife, food baskets and so much more.
Learn more via their Go Fund Me page.
Donate to help those on the ground trying to control the fire.
Help raise awareness of the plight.

Social distancing - Jaguar style.
Jaguars are not known for being social creatures. The typical exceptions being mating pairs and mother with cubs.
Outside of this, still not much is known about how often, when and exactly what happens when jaguars meet. Typically holding large home ranges and low densities means accidentally crossing paths is probably rare. They do communicate with chemical and probably visual signals left for each other.
On an Untamed Jaguars of Pantanal Expedition we have often seen jaguar interactions, sometimes tense, other times surprisingly tolerant. With such a high density of jaguars in this area it's not so surprising they meet each other more often and have to negotiate these complicated interactions.
Here a young female is probably in heat for the first time and has attracted the attention of an old male. Must be nerve racking to suddenly be the focus of a male distinctly larger than herself!
