Part of a series showing different signal "aspects" that control train movement. This signal is modified by two special features. The number plate identifies it as a "permissive" signal; when the signal is red, trains can stop and then continue at reduced speed. The "C" means that passenger trains are permitted to move ahead at higher speed than freight trains under certain conditions.
The yellow signal on the right indicates "Approach", which means that trains can proceed ahead at reduced speed but must be prepared to stop at the next signal.

Stalybridge signal box located by the Up Goods line at the west end of Stalybridge railway station. Friday 6th August 2010
Stalybridge No2 signal box was a Stevens & Sons/Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway type design fitted with a 70 lever Stevens & Sons frame which opened in 1885 in connection with the rebuilding of Stalybridge railway station. The signal box was renamed Stalybridge No3 in 1893 after new signalling and new signal boxes were built to improve the station's western approaches, and was further renamed Stalybridge No2 sometime by 1907 due to rationalisation and the closure of Stalybridge No1 signal box. A replacement 90 lever Stevens & Sons Glasgow New Product frame, manufactured at the London Midland & Scottish Railway Company's Irvine works, was commissioned on 21st May 1944. Resignalling on 6th November 1966 resulted in the closure Stalybridge No1 and Stalybridge No4 signal boxes with Stalybridge No2 signal box being renamed Stalybridge and controlling the whole of Stalybridge railway station and its approaches, the frame being reduced to 70 levers at the same time. An individual function switch was commissioned on 15th December 1984 controlling emergency replacement of SE101 signal which was installed on the Down Guide Bridge line in connection with the replacement of absolute block working by track circuit block working. The switch was was decommissioned on 16th April 1989 to be eventually reused for SE71 signal. On 13th May 1990 two intermediate block signal were commissioned on the down line between Stalybridge and Greenfield signal boxes. The Down Main Intermediate Block Home 2 signal was operated by 40 lever but the Down Main Intermediate Block Home 1 signal was numbered SE71 and operated as an automatic signal with an emergency replacement facility operated by a switch on the block shelf. The switch for SE71 signal was decommissioned on 5th April 1999 when the line between Stalybridge and Diggle Junction signal boxes was resignalled allowing the abolition of Greenfield signal box. At the same time a number of individual function switches controlling emergency replacement of SE101, SE103, SE104, SE105, SE106, SE107, SE108, SE109, SE110, SE111, SE112, SE113, and SE115 signal were commissioned in the new illuminated track diagram provided by First Engineering. The signal box was refurbished with uPVC cladding and windows in the early 2000s, and was closed on 27th October 2012 being replaced by signalling controlled from the Guide Bridge workstation in Manchester East Signalling Control Centre which was commissioned on 4th November 2012. The signal box was severely damaged by fire on 1st December 2012, the fire was reported by a passing train driver at 4:30am, and the remains were demolished later the same day

Another common feature now seen on the UK network is Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS). This is a radio-based safety system that will automatically stop a train under certain circumstances.
The system uses an arming loop and a trigger loop and can be set to trigger the train's brake by varying the distance between the two loops.
The Grand Teton mountain range sits majestically on a bright Fall Morning,unfortunately the prescribed burn was under way resulting in this smokey layer across the valley which would eventually obscure the mountains.

A Liverpool bound service passes Maghull signal box circa 1990/91.
The box at Maghull was a S&F type 7 box built in 1875 & originally fitted with a 19 lever S&F frame.
The S&F frame was removed & Maghull box was refitted with a 28 lever L&Y frame in 1909 in connection with the electrification works.
The gated crossing was replaced in July 1977 by the BR(WR) type barriers seen here.
Around the time this photo was taken Maghull was a class"B" signal box serving as a block post with a trailing crossover.
Maghull at this time worked AB (Absolute Block) to Town Green in the Ormskirk direction & AB to Walton Junction in the Liverpool direction as well as supervising the adjacent level crossing.
Maghull signal box was closed & abolished (along with the boxes at Town Green & Walton Junction) in February 1994 under stage one of the Merseyrail northern lines resignalling with control of the level crossing passing over to Merseyrail IECC at Sandhills.
Based on but not an exact replica of the signal box in Foynes, co. Limerick, Ireland.
No points for guessing where this picture was taken ;-)

I used the new Topaz product Restyle on this image to manipulate the color tones. I like how it came out.

Former Nickel Plate Road style signals guard the crossing of the Norfolk Southern and Conrail routes in Muncie, Indiana, in June 1991. The Conrail line is the former New York Central Cleveland-St. Louis line and is now owned by CSX. (Scanned from a color negative)
All my signals except the GRS L signal connect to the Cabinet through 3/4" conduits. I only planned on having three signals installed, so when I wanted to add more I installed two underground junction boxes. The US&S H-2 searchlight dwarf has the cabinet because I dont have it connected to the main cabnet yet. The GRS SC is waiting for a much taller mast, the GRS L signal might go or might stay, not sure.
GRS L Signal: This signal is a dwarf signal. It was damaged and replaced after a derailment. I installed a GRS D base on it and put it on a short mast. Something a railroad might do......
GRS MD Signal: This signal was controlled from Carrol Street Tower which was the South Approach to the Municipal Bridge. Originally the dwarf had purple as the lower aspect but was later changed to red. This signal has two 110AC transformers to step down the voltage for the 10Vac 14watt signal bulbs. This was installed around the 1930's and still has the City Of St. Louis property tag on it.
GRS SA Searchlight Signal: This signal came from the St. Louis Municipal bridge. The signal was installed around 1940 and was owned and operated by St. Louis. It was removed in the summer of 2006 by the TRRA Railroad. It was signal number 233 which was controlled from Gratiot Tower.
US&S PL Signal: This signal is the newer US&S position light signal that came from Columbus Ohio. It was never used.
Concrete Elevation Marker: This would be between the ex-NYC tracks and the ex-Wabash tracks just south of Lenox tower. The ex-NYC track had a 1-degree, 0-minute curve that began 47 feet north of Lenox Tower and ended 561 feet south of Lenox Tower or 233 feet north of the old IT overhead bridge. The ex- GM&O track had a parallel track on the west side of the NYC track that had a 1-degree, 10-minute curve. The ex-Wabash track had a 2-degree plus curve going in the opposite direction located in the same vicinity. The concrete marker that you found with "E 3 ¼" on one side and "1° 00" was in all probability a curve marker for the NYC track indicating a 1 degree curve with a super elevation of 3.25 inches.
GRS SC Searchlight Signal: This signal was on the KCS and was at MP 227.9
Griswold Rotation Stopsign: This signal came from the C&NW in Fairfax MI.
Cast Iron END OF BLOCK Sign: Found this in a creek in Sauget Illinois.
US&S H-2 Triple Stack Searchlight Signal: This signal came from Kansas City Terminal.
US&S Subway Signal: This signal came from the Chicago Area and was used on the CTA. This originally was two signals.
2C49, Northern’s 1022 Barrow-in-Furness – Carlisle, formed by 156443 and 142049 passes SD44, Sellafield’s down distant signal at Seascale on 19 July 2018. The two lens, two aspect signal - which has just flicked from green to yellow - is working its last day on the Cumbrian coast, its single lens LED replacement can be seen wired and ready to take over on the following day.
There was still a decent collection of standing water from the recent rainstorms in the area, so naturally the temptation to shoot some reflection shots crept in.
Inexplicably, there has been a replacement up for the older MoPac era signal that is up on a cantilever for going on at least 2 years now that has yet to be replaced.

I went back out to Subway Rd for a few minutes until the sun fizzled out behind the clouds (seen here). I thought, wrongly, it would be an early night for me given the dearth of trains at that time.
Living as I do in dark territory, the large signals CN tends to use grab my attention. I may not live long enough to see them garner the kind of the love reserved for searchlights they've replaced in places (not here). Nonetheless they are interesting and the extensive platforms and railings leave me thinking they must be more comfortable to repair and maintain than when hanging from a ladder. July 20, 2024.
