Resident signaller, Richard Jones, operates the levers inside Hereford signal box, most of which are active.
This scene was taken at the back of Silvertown Station Signal box on Christmas Eve 1956, an unrecognisable new Silvertown station is now in use, it was transferred to the DLR and is called Silvertown and London City Airport. When Peter visited it was a grubby London branch line, busy with local freight and with a reasonable passenger service.
68662 was an A. Hill design for the Great Eastern Railway J38 class. The loco was built at Stratford Works, it entered service in November 1923 as 36E, in 1924 under grouping it was numbered LNER 7036, in 1947 it became 8662 and under BR 68662. The loco was withdrawn 18/08/1958 and scrapped in February 1959.

For now, signal territory starts and ends between here and Merrill Road some 11-12 mile ahead. Furthermore, there is a gap of about 10 miles west between here and MP 180 where the next signal lies. In the coming year(s) with both slated grant work and CSX taking over, TCS will be extended from MP180 through to Leeds Junction and create actual controlled sidings, as well as control the ability to line the switch at Leeds Jct. For now, it's business as usual on Pan Am as they get underway out of Danville encroaching on the dark hours of the day.
Vintage network infrastructure at Sellafield on 20 May 2015 as Direct Rail Services 37611 and 37218 head to the stabling point and eventually that morning back light engine to Carlisle, having previously brought in two nuclear flasks from Carlisle, originating from Torness during the previous day. The Sellafield site perimeter fencing and border strip on the rising ground to the left eerily takes me back to my time spent in Berlin during the 'Cold War' in the early 1970s!

Nijmegen, zuidzijde. In dienst tot 1980
Semaphore signal bridge at Nijmegen station, in use until 1980
One day while we were visiting Colorado, we went outside of town and took the tour of the Old Hundred Gold Mine. We were lucky to have a guide that worked the mines in the Silverton area and was very knowledgeable about the mining processes in this area. This is a picture of how the miners communicated to each other on the different levels of the mine. There is quite a list of different signals for them to memorize to know what was being requested.
This mine was founded in the late 1800s, but it was never profitable according to what I read. They did find gold here, but the ore ran out after a few years, and the mine changed ownership a few times over time. Now you can ride down into the mine in real mine car and see how things were done 100 years ago. I always thought these mines started at the top on worked down to the gold. Wrong, they started at the base of the mountain and tried to follow a vein up to the top of the mountain. They would use gravity to get the ore to fall down into the shafts where they could take the ore back down to be processed. Pretty dangerous work, but very profitable when it worked.
Lightshow on barque Passat, Travemünde Week 2019
"Passat is a German four-masted steel barque and one of the Flying P-Liners, the famous sailing ships of the German shipping company F. Laeisz. She is one of the last surviving windjammers. (The name "Passat" is German for trade wind.)
Passat was launched in 1911 at the Blohm & Voss shipyard, Hamburg. She began her maiden voyage on Christmas Eve 1911 toward Cape Horn and the nitrate ports of Chile. She was used for decades to ship general cargo outbound and nitrate home. [...]
In 1957, a few weeks after the tragic loss of Pamir in mid-Atlantic and shortly after having been severely hit by a storm, Passat was decommissioned. She had almost experienced the same fate as the Pamir when her loose barley cargo shifted.
Passat was purchased in 1959 by the Baltic Sea municipality of Lübeck and is now a youth hostel, venue, museum ship, and landmark moored at Travemünde, a borough of Lübeck in the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein. [...]"

Back before the COVID-19 stay-at-home quarantine began, I began organizing some of my older photos. This is one of the first photos I forgot about and edited.
One of the last train photos I took with my 2005-vintage Olympus C-60Z digital camera. It wouldn't survive much longer, forcing me to buy a second one from eBay. Fortunately, I had gotten my first DSLR (Canon Rebel XTi) not long before this, and I was still waiting on a memory card and camera bag for it before I could begin using it (back when 4GB CompactFlash cards were still really expensive).
Here we see BNSF H2 4544 going east through the CB&Q-era East Somonauk signal bridge in Somonauk, IL on the BNSF Mendota Sub. This signal bridge survived until 2011, but it's counterpart at West Somonauk was taken out in a derailment with Amtrak in 2006.
Whilst taking a bit of a stroll to change position at Edale a gap in the trees allowed this “artistic” effort of Edale Down Home 2 semaphore signal, 17th July 2013.
I came across this photo in a folder from last year. Decided I liked this crop better than what I had previous uploaded eighteen months ago. I hear that this signal is not long for this world, in fact it may very well already be scrap. That's sad. Sandcut is a magical spot, though, and no trip to Tehachapi is complete without spending a few hours here.
Another angle of the Blackpool North semaphores and No.2 signalbox, with the 1U65 12:40 to Manchester Airport departing on 7th February 2017 (156452 on the rear). The cast iron lamp post is a remarkable survivor, and there are also a number of them remaining in the carriage/DMU sidings on the up side. This scene will be totally transformed by the end of the year.

1054 [58926] LNWR Webb 0-6-2T Coal Tank during the Gala Weekend on the SVR departs from Bridgnorth October 1986
I have removed a modern streetlight which was annoyingly positioned just to the left of the loco. To many uprights next to each other! A little annoyed that the telegraph pole is not fully visible but at least there is an impression that the wires are not just hanging in mid-air.
BNSF 6830 leads NS train 31N south on the NS Brooklyn District in Mitchell, IL. after dropping a pair of NS motors and some cars to the Alton & Southern. Seen here splitting the signals near Lenox Tower on its way to the TRRA Yard.
Signal at the Genoa Museum. Was driving by in the morning when this possible juxtaposition caught my eye. Reversed course, parked and walked around to line up the shot.
View from inside the rebuilt 1861 Stockton & Darlington Railway signalbox at Kirkby Stephen East, HQ of the Stainmore Railway heritage railway, in the process of creating a museum dedicated to the famed Stainmore line and the North Eastern Railway. They say that when complete the box will be the oldest working signalbox in the world. Outside locomotive 2392, a NER 0-6-0 built in 1923, later to become LNER class J27. It's normally resident on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
I thought we were heading away today, but we've postponed our departure until tomorrow -- which means ... well, y'know ...
The is a "tree" of old signal lanterns once used on the railway. It looks a bit like an HDR image, but it isn't.

I experimented here with a topsheet/cover foil (foreground) and 3 led lights in the background. I have to reshoot this light setting asap :)

The BNSF signal gangs have finished up another round of signal upgrades on the Marceline Sub. In November most of the remaining ex-Santa Fe signal bridges were cut over to new wayside signals. The BNSF started upgrades to the signal system back on the Marceline Sub in 2012-13 with the implement of PTC. Somehow a few signal bridges made it into 2019 untouched. Now all that really remains are bridges that have the newer hooded signals on them. Here an empty grain train leaves Marceline in the rear view mirror as they head east.

Formerly a part of the 'Rush Rail' system in Germany prior to import to the UK in 2013, GB Railfreight Class 66 diesel locomotive 66750 'Bristol Power Signal Box' is seen passing by Stansted Mountfitchet working 4M04 11:50 Barrington Pad Gbrf to Willesden Eurotermnal Gbrf 20/09/21
After dropping off their inbound train in the siding, the Saturday extra OSTN shoves off the east end of the siding and across the diamond at Annpere located right behind the signal. The GLC is on CSX's Plymouth sub currently to make this move, as the old connector track is no longer suitable for the amount of traffic being interchanged between the two railroads.
this girl biked from British Columbia to Newfoundland across all of Canada. There was l think about 100 of them that started out, she told us one was 70.
