Signal Hill

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.

Traffic signals both annoy and fascinate me. On the day-to-day basis, I absolutely hate them. My car seems to employ a hidden device that causes all signals to suddenly turn red right in front of me. People that drive with me have even commented on this. I almost never catch a green light. Some signals are especially troublesome; I can easily go 0-20 or more at some intersections, far worse than you might get with a coin toss. But I'm able to put all of that aside when I'm out walking. At that point the signals no longer dictate my movement and become more of a curiosity. I'm really taken with a childlike fascination watching the color lights, particularly when contrasted against the evening sky. I found myself standing under this signal the other night. This is the type that simply blinks on and off rather than go through a green, yellow, red cycle. A quiet summer evening with almost zero traffic afforded me the opportunity to stand in the road looking up at this sentinel light, flashing red in my direction, amber in the opposite. I could see the color cast down on the street in front of me, monotonously on and off, on and off. I could hear the corresponding click of a relay in an electrical cabinet on an adjacent pole, keeping time with the lights (actually controlling the lights but that's not as fun of a thought). Part of the fascination is seeing the cycle repeat endlessly, even though no vehicles are present. Don't know why this attracts me; it just does. I live not too far from a regular traffic light, the three-color changer, the only one in the entire village. When the trees are bare in winter, I can see it from my bedroom window even though it is some distance away. Sometimes I watch it at night, ever changing, yet somehow soothing. So odd to think that the next morning I will go right back to cursing the damn things. Love-hate.

Bad Signal Saturday on the West Point Route continued on the first day of February, with M210 following L844 and still having to run on restrictings from Loachapoka to Auburn. They're passing the intermediate in downtown with auto racks bound for the Kia plant at West Point, Georgia.

This lightning strike appears to form a complete circle, even though if you look closely it just twists back and ends close to itself.

 

Not my favorite image of all-time, but I like the uniqueness of the strike :)

Printed from my drawings by Benn Coifmann, this is the most current version of a lego compatible semaphore spectacle.

 

Lego 1x1 translucent rounds seem like they were designed to be miniature signal lenses.

Eastbound at St Davids under what appears to be a former signal bridge.

This is Cark station possibly in 1952. By the stance of the chap on the platform the train is arriving and is stopping short of where he thought it would. Cark looks a lovely little country station with good buildings which have a glazed canopy, a substantial goods shed in the goods yard and a fine signal box.

42402 was built at Derby Works, it was a Fowler 2-6-4T and it entered traffic as 2402 on 20/09/1933. The loco was withdrawn 13/10/1962 and scrapped 11/03/1963. At the time of Peter's picture it was an 11B Barrow-in-Furness allocated machine

Signal du Bougès, which at 1,421m is both the highest point on the ridge and marks our highest point for the day’s walking. The grey clouds are an ominous sign of what was to come.

The distant signal for East Cuba had already been a non-searchlight for some time, but on this trip I noted that a 2nd head has been added for the westbound aspect - allowing for additional aspects can be displayed and also is a sure sign that the Searchlights at East Cuba have been replaced.

Volunteer signaller Mandy at the levers in the signal box at Arley station during Severn Valley Railway’s Step Back to the 1940s event on 8 June 2025.

 

The current signal box was reconstructed from 1974 to 1976 approximately on the site of the original signal box. The frame, which has 30 levers, is originally from Kidderminster Station.

Signal post at Holt Railway Station, Norfolk.

Having crossed over the Illinois River and passed the one-time crew change point at Chillicothe without stopping, a Willow Springs, IL to North Bay, California trailer train rolls through the "S" curve at the west end of Chillicothe Yard and past the signal bridges at the West Chillicothe control point.

 

Just a few hundred yards west of this point, the five engines will begin to pull their train of trailers for the San Francisco-Oakland area up the 1.1% grade up Edelstein hill and out of the Illinois River valley.

 

This train was symboled as the Z WSPNBY9 21L.

The antenna in Signal Hill is decorated as a towering Christmas. It becomes a local landmark as it is visible across much of south land.
