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.
The Jamestown Road bridge over the tracks on the West Slope provides more than just a crossing for vehicular traffic. The PRR Position Light Signals are mounted to the side for eastbound trains, giving a literal definition to "signal bridge."
An eastbound approaches the bridge and lights up the signal heads and west face of the structure. The photographers vehicle sits parked out of sight lighting up the snow covered roadway ahead of it.

What if I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me?
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all by design
'Cause I'm a mastermind
You see, all the wisest women
Had to do it this way
'Cause we were born to be the pawn
In every lover's game
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
And the liquor in our cocktails
What if I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me, I knew I wanted your body?
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all my design
'Cause I'm a mastermind

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.

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.

#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.
Unterwegs war dieses niedliche Gespann auf der RB 20 von Oranienburg nach Potsdam Hbf. und wurde von 143 642-7 geschoben.
Heute würde diese Größe für diese Linie nicht mehr ausreichen, ein positives Beispiel für die Verkehrswende!? Auch den Bahnhof in dieser Form finden wir so nicht mehr vor, denn nun sitzt der FDL nicht mehr vor Ort und auch die HL-Signale sind ersetzt - 11.03.09
An extended weekend's tour of the western end of the Southern Region in 1977 saw us alight at Wareham, where we were generously invited into the signal box. At the time the box controlled the busy level crossing, as well access to the oil terminal sidings.
This shot features the frame and panel, and the proud Signalman on duty that day.
Fast forward and the level crossing was eventually replaced by a road over-bridge built just to the east, and the signal box closed in 2014 as part of the Poole to Wool resignalling project. So far as I can make out it is still in situ however.
For those interested, when I took the shot, Jimmy Carter was President of the US and James Callaghan was our Prime Minister.

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.
