For years, the signal bridge at MP 307 in the town I grew up in, Derry, PA, has been a backdrop in my photos. Once the westbound home signal for the long-gone DR Tower, this bridge was over seventy years old and survived four major railroads.
On the morning of July 28, 2019, the 307 bridge was taken out of service and torn down due to the Pittsburgh Line cab signal project.
I'm glad I got to shoot this bridge as much as I did. The 307.4 numberboard visible in this shot was saved by the NS crews on hand and given to me, an act I'm very grateful for. Long live 307!
Norfolk Southern train 21J passes by another set of soon to be gone signals along the ex PRR Middle Division.
Starting signal at Merrygoen, New South Wales, a junction for trains working between Newcastle and western areas of the state. Late on the evening of Monday 28th December 2015, BRM002 leading SSR’s 4877 empty grain train to Nyngan prepares to depart. The signal and its associated electric staff safeworking system have since been replaced.
This signal controled the entrance into the remaining three platforms at Lowestoft.

Plenty of color for a rainy day at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine. The restoration shop in the background is where they take the historic trolley cars from all around the U.S. and bring them back to life. The museum ticket includes free trolley rides and fun stories from the guides.
I walked from the Doraville MARTA all the way to the signal bridge at Ray in anticipation of catching a train, however I was out of luck. I did happen to get some good lighting thru the bushes and grass of the bridge, leaving me with this photo here.
another shot from yesterday. love to see more of these flowers. this one sends out signals for the bees to come.

The tri-head signal at the N. Market Interlocking on the TRRA has been upgraded to a modern style and has been moved from the south side of N. Market St. to the north side.
I'll never understand signal positioning: in the old location, the signal could be seen from a long way off to the south. In this new position, it can't be seen until the train rounds the Ryerson Steel building.

Walking the tracks, fun times.. always remember to pay attention though and never walk on the tracks with headphones on...
this I almost learned the hard way.

The substantial Caledonian Railway type N3 signal box at Fouldubs Junction was built in 1908 with a 77 lever frame that was increased to 80 levers in 1951 before being reduced to 40 levers in 1972 after the locking was overhauled. It stands at the junction of the one time Orchardhall branch which wasn't actually a branch but a through line to Falkirk via Bainsford Junction. It was the fact either end belonged to different companies the North British and the Caledonian which got it the designation a branch line. It closed in 1968 as a through route although the eastern end between the British Aluminium Plant at Orchardhall and here at Fouldubs Junction remained operational until 1991. The box is located on the freight only Grangemouth branch and now just controls movements towards Grangemouth Docks and Grangemouth Oil Refinery as well as adjacent freight terminal sidings.
Being a freight line I guess there was plenty of spare time between trains hence the signalman's splendid array of Geraniums in the box windows and the raised bed veg plot at the foot of the box steps.
Scotrail "Inter7City" HST 43127 (with 43015 powering at the rear) working 1A79 09:30 Edinburgh to Aberdeen passing Arbroath signal box and Wellgate level crossing on 15th September 2023. The 1911 North British Railway-built cantilevered signal box officially became simply Arbroath signal box in 1971 when the South signal box was closed, although it still bears its original nameboard.

How cute is this crayfish baby?
Measuring about 15 millimeters in length, not much longer than the tip of a pencil, this crayfish hatchling already looks like an adult, just tiny.
The signal crayfish recently hatched from an egg its mother was brooding at Abernathy Fish Technology Center in Washington.
The research center known for studying Pacific Northwest fish species also raises signal crayfish to learn about rearing techniques and about their life cycle in native habitat.

Bolton West signal box between the (near to far) Up Passenger Loop and Down Branch lines at the north end of Bolton railway station
Bolton West signal box was a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company non standard design fitted with an 83 lever McKenzie & Holland and Westinghouse Style A electro-pneumatic miniature lever frame that opened on 27th September 1903 replacing Blackburn Junction and Johnston Street Fork Junction signal boxes. When built the signal box box was of all wood construction with a row of single pane windows below the 2x2 pane operating floor windows but the lower half of the structure was rebuilt with a brick base in the late 1930s in order to make the signal box "bomb proof". The signal box closed at 12:30am on 8th December 1985, when signalling around Bolton railway station passed to Bolton power signal box. After closure the lever frame, frame number A8, was moved to the National Railway Museum at York
The signal box carried a British Railways London Midland Region maroon enamel nameplate
Ref no BT/00788
I took this from the edge of the Nerima-Takanodai platform of Seibu Ikebukuro Line.
I took a picture of six pieces in the bracket at 1/1000 seconds at this time. This signal lit at intervals of one piece when the taken shot was seen. In a word, this signal had blinked at high speed as it was not possible to confirm it by eyes. I was surprised.

夕焼けです。ぼくはこれを西武池袋線の練馬高野台駅のホームの端から撮りました。
ぼくはこの時1/1000秒で6枚をブラケット撮影しました。撮ったショットを見てみると、なんと信号が1枚おきに点灯しているのです。つまり、この信号は目に見えないほど高速に点滅していたのです。驚きました。
One day I suppose these old semaphore signals will go.

Swinderby signal-box a listed Midland Railway Type 3b box opened on 6th January 1901, and fitted with a 16 lever frame the same as most boxes on this line. The signal-box looks to be in a much more original condition that Fiskerton an identical box seen in the the previous photo, the windows are in the original style but look to be modern replacements, also you do not see many signal-boxes these days with a veranda complete with handrails.

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.

Macclesfield Signal Box.
An LMR Type 15 box commisioned in 1965 and controlling the line between Congleton (Stoke-on-Trent SCC) and Prestbury (Manchester South SCC).
It doesn't appear to have had any TLC for some years judging by the cracking brickwork and rotting timbers.

This is a male Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus), introduced to Britain from North America in the 1960s. Unfortunately these animals carried a disease that proved fatal to our native White-clawed Crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes), which are increasingly rare in Britain. I spotted several in one of my local streams. I removed this large male and popped him on the bank to phpotograph him. He was rather feisty and backed into a corner waving his open claws at me. I crouched down low and managed to get a shot showing the bright orange underside of his claws. Here is a photograph of the rare native White-clawed Crayfish showing its smaller, pale claws www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/9831997276/
The imposing signal box at Aberystwyth, was the largest supplied by Dutton & Co. to the Cambrian Railway. Opened in 1893 and to the Dutton type 2 design with roofed porch/landing, it originally contained a Dutton frame of 78 levers, which was replaced in Great Western days with a 100 lever Horizontal Tappet frame. Note the wonderful concrete post lower quadrant bracket signals provided by the GWR, which were replacements for the original Dutton signals. The one on the right was later replaced with a tubular post bracket signal by the London Midland Region. Aberystwyth signal box closed on 25th April 1982.
