Former NBR High Street Goods signal box. Opened in 1904 and closed in 1967. Survived until the early 2000s despite the yard closing in 1982.
Surviving GSWR built Bell St goods bonded warehouse of College St goods in background. Apparently the premises were used by Scotch whisky blenders. Building now converted to flats.
Late Feb 1985
Having a desire to snag a dramatic night photo of the searchlight signals in Old Monroe, Mo. was always on my to-do-list.
On this night, it worked out perfectly with the high clouds racing overhead and the glow of the city lights in the distance. I even got a little help with the cold weather because some of the folks in town had fires burning. Their smoke after filtering through the air was thin enough to help create the perfect flare from the signals' light.
Taken from the fence line surrounding the house track in Old Monroe, Mo. on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. on December 6th, 2015 just before a UCEX coal load ripped through town.
As sunlight fades behind the Lower Austrian Mountains, a westbound OBB Railjet passes by the long closed, but restored Breitensetein signal box.
This round mound of a mountain doesn't get much attention when one is at the iconic Oxbow Bend of the Snake River. Some rather craggy peaks like the "grand" one at the right does tho.
This is the northern section of Signal Mountain, with the 7720 foot summit to the SW. Incredible views of the Tetons from the top.
"Though located adjacent to the Tetons, Signal Mountain was not formed in the same manner or period. The mountain originally was formed by volcanic ashfall from one of the eruptions of the Yellowstone hotspot. The peak is also partially a glacial moraine formed by a receding glacier that came south out of the Yellowstone icecap. This same glacier also created neighboring Jackson Lake." Wikipedia
Have a wonderful week!
BAL-05, with the CP 6241 and 6303 in their sharp Golden Beaver scheme leading, weave through some curves along the appropriately named Great River Road north of Guttenberg, IA on the west edge of the Mississippi River Valley. An old MILW line pole for some reason hangs on here, one of the few anywhere along this line to my knowledge. The ballast extra with it’s two set of GREX conveyor cars has been trying to weave through traffic southbound on the Marquette sub all day. Some minor signal issues at the siding at Eckards had delayed the train ahead (K50) and now this BAL-05 was running on restricting signals behind the slower freight most of the way to Dubuque it seemed. But that made for a nice chase for me! This sharp SD60 duo didn't last super long before one of them was replaced with a GP20ECo, unfortunately.
The CTC for this stretch around Eckards to Dubuque is relatively new. The CP has slowly been implementing CTC on the Marquette Sub from Sabula, IA to Bluff (La Crescent, MN), and has finally made it to Marquette with just a few "islands" of track warrant control "dark" territory left south of there. Given the increase in traffic on this line that is a key link in the CPKC’s Canada to Mexico route it certainly does seem warranted. Ballast trains are a common sight on the Marquette as they shuttle rock to expansion and heavy maintenance projects all throughout eastern Iowa from the pit at Waterloo, WI.
Signal Hill, that is. St. John's, Newfoundland. A bit of a grey day this morning when I took this. It did start to clear shortly after, though.
Cabot Tower is visible at the top. I have a KAP shot of it here on my photostream taken from the top of the hill some time ago. The shot here was taken this Saturday, though.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I just loved the subtle back light that added a rim and emphasised the smoke in this shot. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

CSX Q694 breaks the quiet of the night as it heads north through Elkhorn City, Kentucky and past the Clinchfield signals at North Elkhorn. This was once the location where the C&O and the Clinchfield met, and now marks the split from the CSX Big Sandy Sub to the CSX Kingsport Sub.

After dropping some rail near mile 6 and 18 on the Fording sub, a CWR train heads south back to Sparwood where it would tie down for the night. Here we have it passing the signal on the approach to Elkview, the mine seen in the background.

Union Pacific's daily Ogden - Cheyenne manifest pulls its 75-car train under signal bridge 9469 between Baskin and Emory, Utah in Echo Canyon on June 27, 1992. UP's signal and cantilever bridges were removed from the Evanston Subdivision two decades ago. They were a necessity for signal aspect viewing when this left-hand running railroad operated steam locomotives with very long boilers. Not much of a problem for a crew in an SD40-2 with a low hood.
