A microscale deep space communications relay and research facility built in early 2018 as a prop for a tabletop game.
The Griswold Signal Company manufactured these types of "rotating banner" signals, beginning in 1927. When the crossing signal was activated, a rotating stop sign would turn to face the motorist/pedestrian/bicyclist. These signals were common in Minnesota, but could be found elsewhere. This one greets visitors at the Minnesota Transportation Museum.
According to Wikipedia, "As of November 2016, there are only half a dozen known Griswold signals still in service along active rail, all in Minnesota, none with rotating stop sign signals. The last pair with an operating banner protected 22nd Ave NE in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Griswolds in Tacoma, Washington and San Jose, California were both removed circa 2010.".
Out in the country on the edge of a small town, this little one lane bridge allows trains to run underneath. If you're on one side, you cannot see the cars on the other side so the signal is very necessary.
With the shunter giving the ‘stop’ hand signal, 3F No. 47406 has successfully backed onto its freight train in Loughborough yard.
From what I recall, this signal box, which has since been demolished, was in West Hartlepool; to the east of Hartlepool station.
The photograph would be taken from the point of the level crossing at the end of Church Street and the start of Mainsforth Terrace.
The lines curving round to the right are the current lines running down the Durham coast to Seaton Carew and beyond.
West Hartlepool locomotive depot was about half a mile further down this line, towards Seaton Carew. The area of the depot, which was to the north of the road bridge on the A178 and the start of Coronation Drive, still remains undeveloped.
This is one of the first photos I took on a test run of my new Pentax K3 Mark III camera after my old camera died. Conditions were fairly difficult with deep cloud shadows looking into a bright sky, so this is a three shot HDR. The camera will take some getting used to, with an entirely different layout of buttons, dials, and menus, but it will do everything but shovel snow and make coffee.
UP dispatcher 12 has lined an eastward move following a manifest train on the former Chicago & North Western main line at Nachusa, IL. These searchlight signals date to the early Fifties CTC project on this busy part of the "Overland Route", but are destined for replacement within the next year.
Red over red over lunar white indicates "Restricting" and requires the following train to proceed prepared to stop within half the range of vision.
Whitby signal box, photographed on 3 August 1981.
From wikipedia:
"In 1854, the Y&NM helped form the North Eastern Railway, who later added two more platforms (also replaced by the supermarket) to help deal with traffic from the other branch lines that served Whitby; the Esk Valley Line finally opened throughout to a junction at Grosmont in 1863. The coast line from Loftus opened in 1883 and from Scarborough in 1885. Block signalling replaced the time interval system in 1876 and brought Whitby an unusual three storey signal box (to make it high enough to see over the adjacent goods shed)."
Tonight Cole and i headed to China Walls for sunset. The light hasn't been great but still pretty nice clouds. We decided to hang around a bit after and get some star shots before we ate. While hanging out, waiting for it to get a bit darker we talked with this cool group of fisherman, I finally decided to ask them to stand still for 20 seconds to see what I could get! My hand moved more then I wanted but I have a better one from last night that I'll share someday! I have been loving the Goal Zero flashlight that I got, its pretty powerfull and changers with usb or solar and of course makes for a great prop!

This railroad signal is next to the bike trail, which at one time was a railroad track. I guess they left the signal for decoration or something, I don't know. Today's daily shot.
Signal PR52 at Par Station, soon to be removed. Showing some signs of weathering, though last time it had some work stainless steel nuts and bolts seem to have been used, a good choice.
An eastbound Conrail manifest passes the now-removed PRR signals at Whiting in 1996. The signals were being moved to a larger cantilever mount at the time; in 2016 that replacement was replaced with the now-standard Safetrans signals.
Conrail itself was replaced here with Norfolk Southern in 1999.
Southern Searchlights still guard this end of the siding at Connolly Springs, NC - as NS manifest train 123 coasts along the former Southern "S" Line. Today, 123 terminates in Knoxville, TN and S Line traffic is nil - as all through traffic has been re-routed to the north on the N&W. Another victim of PSR "Bottom 21" railroading.
Saw this lady while I was on holiday in Whitby trying out the new coffee lid mobile phone signal booster!
Woods at Signal Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee. 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.

With the train dissolving in the heat shimmer from the loco’s exhaust 70811 passes Appleby North signal box with the Carlisle-Chirk timber. On this occasion it was described as 6X37 on RTT, answers on a postcard.
