Vinca Minor or Periwinkle. A sprawling ground cover plant.
This is a garden escapee found at the top of an old disused railway embankment close to where there once used to be a signal box serving the old goods yard.
This is the where they used to keep the signal flags for the lighthouse at Green Cape NSW. So signals were flown from here to ships sailing by. A dangerous area for sailing in the colonial days. The old light in the background. Now a tourist destination.
While the Big Sandy still has a fair amount of C&O signals left, the main attraction is the intermediate at Bobbs (milepost 55). This signal holds the distinction of being the last active C&O signal bridge remaining. I doubt any one legacy signal bridge anywhere has attracted this much railfan attention since the final years of the MP 377 bridge on the east slope of Tehachapi Pass.
I've made a few attempts to shoot it in prior trips, but work windows or just plain bad timing has foiled those past efforts. With a well-timed M652 in the morning hours, capping the chase here was a no-brainer. The #2 track between SK Cabin and GC Cabin was ripped out last summer. Today this signal bridge only protects one track, so how long it will remain is anybody's guess.
The signal box at NVR Wansford. Since this visit it's been covered in scaffolding.

Knaresborough signal box is one of a small number of signal boxes that was built as an 'extension' on the end of an established row of properties rather than as a 'free standing' structure. The level crossing has remained manually operated and is primarily a pedestrian crossing of the line. However, the wicket gates are secured by the signaller for the passage of trains. The box is Grade II listed
The train, which has just crossed the viaduct over the River Nidd is on the Leeds - Harrogate - York route
Knaresborough is a market and spa town in the Borough of Harrogate, in North Yorkshire, England, on the River Nidd. It is 3 miles east of Harrogate
Hopefully Chris can tell us what type of train it is

After finding some coal empties departing Laurel northbound, we decided to follow them north up the Laurel Sub and, eventually, the Broadview Sub. This is a new section of track that was put in about 15 years ago to service the large Signal Peak Mine just south of Roundup, MT. With several hills and a mix of wooded and wide open terrain, it's a neat piece of railroad that tends to elude the camera. Signal Peak was churning out coal loads the week we were visiting, and this E-RBGSXM2-50F is one of several trains we saw heading to or from the mine.
POAY ducks under the B&M era signal bridge and searchlights at CPF 241 in Rollinsford, NH on a fall afternoon.
#ONT113 passes an old searchlight signal, at New Liskeard that once used to light the right of way for trains on the Temagami Subdivision. The crew on this train loved to have their pictures taken, if you could notice the upside down 👌 pose the conductor is giving.
Cantilevered Searchlight Signals on Sunday. MRL Day Gas enters the west end of the siding at Plains for a meet with a BNSF westbound.

CSS AF4 slowly rolls through the double-track crossover at 51.5 near Ogden Dunes. The signals are dark due to a signal suspension in place between Gary Metro and Bailly as part of the Double Track NWI project.
While driving back toward my hotel, I stopped to grab a photo of a pair of searchlights. Although not as sought after as the semaphores on the Raton Sub as they're much more common, they're still sick and my favorite signal type.
Made an interesting signal in the sky. This is the cooling tower of Neckarwestheim nuclear powerplant (nowadays decommissioned but not yet disassembled). Made for kind of an x-form - got thinner before then expanding into quite a billow.
Union Pacific’s Sharp - Valmy coal train splits Rio Grande GRS Type D intermediate signals 7121 - 7122, approaching American Fork, Utah the afternoon of June 4, 1987.
We reached the end of the road on this pensinular and it would have been lovely to expore further, visit the signal station, see the sea on the other side, find a better spot for the flowering heather. But Ireland has no right to roam and no network of footpaths, which is sometimes very frustrating.
