37418 puts down the power as it pulls away from a signal check on the outskirts of Shildon. The railtour had to wait here for a few minutes whilst the service train cleared the single track section between Bishop Auckland and Shildon.
The working is the 1Z54 14:41 Saltburn to Shildon. Part of the 'Saltburn Alternative' railtour on the 22nd October 2022.

It's 0500 on the day after Christmas and I'm headed home after a 5 hour trip back from Wellington on a Z2. With the sky conditions I decided to stop at Santa Fe Jct. and take a couple pictures of the endangered searchlight signals.
After decades of authorizing trains across the KCT, the last strongholds of these are starting to fall roughly 8-12 years after many of their siblings were replaced. A pair of routes are lined through, up 79 and up 80 Track on the KCT North-South Corridor. The skies are cloudy and misty. It's quiet other than the distant rumble of an idling DPU's prime mover and spitter valves. One day, probably sooner than I'd like to think, this will be a bygone visual.

A leaf which has seen Better Days, on a walkway in Hermann Park, The shadow is a selfie, which normally I would avoid, but I really needed to catch this in a few seconds, on the run at the end of a beautiful day. In fact on one of my Better Days!
Yet another instance of a Barnett Newman Zip coupled with botanical jetsam &/or a topological equivalent of a disc—probably not the first reading that popped into your mind.
For #BetterDays #FlickrFriday and also “Signs of the Season” for the Flickr Lounge. Unaccountably refused to upload—even after export to jpg—so I’m posting a screen dump instead with time and location corrected to the original. The geotag shifted by a few meters in the process.
Happy Flickr Friday!

Levers in the soon to be closed Barnetby East Signal Box.
The box was built around 1916 by the Great Central Railway when the route between Wrawby and Brocklesby was quadrupled to cope with the growing freight traffic to and from Immingham and Grimsby Docks. With closure currently scheduled for the end of 2015 the box will likely just fall short of its centenary.

Several Canadian National guards man the east side of Durand, Michigan if you approach. This was once the Grand Truck main line between Detroit and Chicago. New "Safe-T" signals provide the Christmas y feel.
Instow railway station was a railway station in the village of Instow, North Devon, England, on the Bideford Extension of the North Devon Railway. Opened in November 1855, the station closed to passengers in 1965, but the line remained open for freight until 1982. The signal box has been preserved as a working attraction. The Atlantic Coast Express used to go through the station on its way to Torrington, but it did not call at Instow.
The former site of the railway tracks is now part of the Tarka Trail.
Computer issues at South Lyon after meeting counter part L303 caused over an hour delay which during this time of year really takes away a lot of photo possibilities. With shadows at every other signal east of here. L302 passes the 64.4 signals between Webberville and Fowlerville in some mint afternoon golden light that was very rapidly falling behind the trees.
While clouds flare overhead, a large fragment of cap-rock rests alongside the trail and looks conspicuously out of place amongst the deeper red of the mudstones, Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, Colorado.
Visiting this Monument was a prime objective of our recent Thanksgiving road-trip to the Southwestern part of the State. Abandoned cliff-dwellings and watchtowers blend in remarkably well with the landscape, being built from the native materials at hand, and my wife and boys and I were thoroughly engrossed while searching for them and imagining their creators out-loud, along with the way of life that existed here. Say what you will about America these days (and whatever it is, it would probably be accurate), but the fact that public land like this exists and anyone can go explore is largely due to Teddy Roosevelt's leadership. A vision like that, gifted to future generations as it was, still makes me proud to be an American today.
I might not have time to do a full "year in review" this year, but -- then again -- I'm not sure I took enough photos throughout the year to do one!
That said, certainly the highlight of my photography year was a three-day trip to Virginia with Brian Plant. In 2017, I had a very brief introduction to NS's H-Line north of Roanoke while on my way home from a work conference in Tennessee. I always wanted to go back, but -- with a wife and son at home -- finding the time always made that difficult. When NS started replacing the steam-era CPL signals on the line, however, I knew that time was of the essence. This year, Brian Plant offered to do the driving if I met him partway down, so -- with my wife's blessing -- we were off!
I figured Sunday, April 14th would just be a travel day, so I was very pleasantly surprised when Brian and I were able to catch up to southbound Train 13Z and the weather cooperated! Here, the train knocks down the CPL signal at Arcadia -- my favorite location on the line.
Recently, NS replaced the CPL signals here, so this shot was just in time for sure!

Night view of Caprotti valve gear fitted British Railways Standard Class 5MT 73129 on the approach to Swanwick Junction station, Midland Railway Centre. Those of you that know the location may notice that I've done some repairs to the signals on the left... Seen during a 30742 Charters event.
Heckington signal box in Lincolnshire was opened in 1876 and features a 1925 Saxby & Farmer lever frame.
The station was opened by the Boston, Sleaford and Midland Counties Railway on 13 April 1859. It is now owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway who provide all rail services.
Eleva sus esqueléticos brazos al cielo pidiendo clemencia. Ya su cuerpo medio carbonizado ruega para que le envíen agua fresca…Parece que allí arriba están demasiado ocupados o señal fuera de cobertura …F.O.G.
He raises his skeletal arms to the sky begging for mercy. Already his half-charred body begs for fresh water to be sent… Looks like they're too busy up there or signal out of cover… F.O.G.
The Signal Tower in Arbroath is located next to the picturesque and historic harbour, within the original shore station for the Bell Rock Lighthouse, The Signal Tower Museum tells the story of the lighthouse itself and of the local fishing and maritime industries.
