Abstract & experimental self portrait captured in January 2023 😊 ⭐️
I experimented here with a topsheet/cover foil (foreground) and 3 led lights in the background. I have to reshoot this light setting asap :)

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.
After some years evolving a train signal, I've arrived at this one which I'm completely happy with (for now...).
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.
The Ffestiniog Railway Porthmadog Harbour station's Down Home (Trident) signal at sunset.
Shot with a Lee Big stopper to extend the exposure to 30 seconds at F20
Uckfield Station, East Sussex. The old signal box which also controlled the crossing gates is redundant since the line was cut short here. It is now a rather elaborate mini cab office.
Went down to Kirksanton on my day off due to a very optimistic forecast. Sun was out 'til 5 minutes before the train. 68005 leads the Drigg LLWR stone empties toward Barrow Docks.
I planned to return here to do it in the sun but that was also optimistic as the sun didn't shine on it again before the flow finished.
One of Scotland's more modern but also short lived signal boxes, Hunterston Junction.
The signal box was built in 1978 to a standard Scottish Region Relay Room design with signalman's area combined. It opened with the commissioning of the short branch off the Largs line into the British Steel High Level Loading Terminal. The new facility built by British Steel allowed iron ore and coal to be rapid loaded to trains direct from conveyors at the Hunterston deep water port replacing what had previously been done at General Terminus Docks on the Clyde in Glasgow. The box opened on 2/4/1978 but initially only controlled movements within the High Level terminal complex and trains running on the 3 mile branch to and from Hunterston Low Level in conjunction with Hunterston BSC Control Tower in the port. It wasn't until 20/7/1986 that it was fully commissioned as a block post on the Largs passenger line when track rationalisation ahead of the electrification of the line resulted in adjacent boxes closing at Fairlie and Holm Junction. Hunterston Junction box ceased to function as signal box when Paisley PSB took over the route on 28//8/1992 when it was down graded to a Ground Frame. So a relatively short life of six years as a fully fledged signal box. It remained in situ controlling access to the High Level Sidings only, being manned by BR yard staff then EWS after privatisation but not in a signalling capacity. With the cessation of coal traffic in 2015 it saw a further downgrade to an unmanned relay room as the branch to the high level was mothballed.
The signal box at Kingussie remains and from what I could tell it still in use. It is quite a big building and as with everything these signal boxes are disappearing as technology goes digital. This signal box is located right at a level crossing so I would presume they monitor it from the signal box.
Sometimes we need to walk away so far, even signal won't catch us. Is in the loneliness of those places, when with nature's help, we meet our soul again, in peace.
KCS BKCVN-24 runs south through Lenox Interlocking at Mitchell, IL after a 70-mph jaunt from Wann Interlocking on UP's Springfield Sub. The train will tie down in KCS Venice Yard while its privileged passengers enjoy another year of the Bommarito Automotive Group 500, an IndyCar Series race held at Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, IL.
Note the work in the background to replace the legacy signals here, signalling the end of Lenox tower as a controlling agency at this busy confluence of St. Louis railroading.
Thanks to WR and MM for the heads up and periodic updates as this train crossed Missouri and Illinois.
What the short branch into Llandudno lacks in quality trains, it makes up for in lineside views. The box at Deganwy has a great vista, with the Conwy estuary behind. The signalling at this location is a mix of colour light and semaphore, with and equal split of about three of each.
The now ubiquitious CAF sets rule the roost along here and 197109 is seen slowing to a stop on 24th February 2025 with 1H90 1441 Llandudno to Manchester Airport.
Pole shot.
On a frigid but clear night, the Southern-era signals in Gate City, VA shine bright. The approach lit signals always show a clear and approach on the opposing side. With word of no planned NS train this night I figured I'd get some star trail shots, but much to my surprise that green dropped to a read, which meant it was time to split and find the NS train that had just been lined west.
The BNSF 6516 is shown here framed in the elderly Santa Fe signal bridge at Toluca, Illinois as she leads a hot Los Angeles to New York doublestack train eastward toward Chicago. The signal bridges, cantilevers, and searchlight signals pictured here are threatened by progress as signal modernization is slated for the ex-Santa Fe Chillicothe Subdivision in the coming months.
The train is symboled as Z LACNYC9 19L.
