Former Baltimore & Ohio position light signals glow green through the fog as a westbound CSX freight train approaches Carothers Tunnel on the Magnolia Cutoff near Paw Paw, West Virginia.
Roaring past the classic semaphore signals guarding the east end of Timpas, Colorado siding, westbound manifest train #408 is seventeen miles out of La Junta on Santa Fe's Raton Subdivision.
Led by SF30C 9510 in the SP-SF proposed merger paint scheme, train 408 will need the horsepower of all three big six axle units up front and three more buried mid-train to ascend Raton Pass.
Once a robust line hosting mainfests, TOFC Q-trains and coal trains, the Raton Sub has fallen mostly silent except for the daily passage of Amtrak's two Southwest Chief passenger trains along with occasional BNSF extras and work trains.
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.
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.

In deteriorating light, the late running "Christmas White Rose" charter from Kings Cross to York. speeds past Bridge 33 at Bolton Percy, with "The Duchess of Sutherland" in charge. The roar of the Duchess was something to be heard as she charged beneath the bridge in the background, but then steam was shut off for signals at Colton Junction, an occupational hazard hereabouts for those wishing to capture a voluminous white exhaust stream!!
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.

When I took this shot last September I did not at first realise that the box was now closed but if you zoom in on the notice in the window you will see it says 1896 - 2016. A quick Google and I came across this Facebook page for Lowdham Railway Heritage:- www.facebook.com/lowdhamsignalbox/ and clearly, it is to be kept and relocated as a piece of valuable local heritage. What a great idea and it makes me sad to think that such could have become of the box at my local Maghull Station instead of demolition.

I haven't taken any landscape photos in a couple months. So, I figured it was about time to go out and take some. I took an early morning trip to Signal Hill and took some shots of the snow covered hill and city.

With Bewdley South signal box to the rear of the train. The immaculately finished and well presented C.B. Collett designed 4-6-0 Hall class locomotive No. 4930 'Hagley Hall', built by the Great Western Railway at their Swindon works during 1929, eases a short mixed rake of loose coupled freight wagons through the yard at Bewdley Station during a Matt Fielding photographic charter on the Severn Valley Railway.

'Biffa Shed' 66783 “The Flying Dustman” passing Three Horse Shoes Signal Box on 16/4/22 with 4M21 - 12.21 - Felixstowe South GBRf to Trafford Park Euro Terminal.....needless to say all the containers were on the rear.
Taken using pole.
The signal gives the Fairburn designed '4MT' 2-6-4T no.42073 the all clear to enter Lakeside station.

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.
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.
BNSF 7590 passes under the old Santa Fe signal bridges with a long stack train at Mp. 313 in La Plata, MO. on the BNSF Marceline Sub. (5-1-2013)
Now a thing of the past, I wish I had photographed these more and the others along the line for that matter.

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.
A creek near Signal Mountain. Chattanooga, Tennessee is located in the eastern part of the state on the Cumberland Plateau. The city is surrounded by gorges, mountains and beautiful countryside. It has been experiencing a revitalization lately.

Nijmegen, zuidzijde. In dienst tot 1980
Semaphore signal bridge at Nijmegen station, in use until 1980
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.
