New Castle-to-Newell empty coal train E065 runs past an impressive signal cantilever at McKeesport (aka Riverton Station), PA on the former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Youghiogheny Branch. The train is approaching Port Vue, where it will join the Monongahela Branch for the run south into SW Pennsylvania coal country.
Diggin' the unfiltered SD70MACs.

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.
a man paused mid-step, caught between sand and signal. headphones wrapped him in silence, the screen offered a world quieter than the sea behind him. the promenade kept moving. he didn’t.
Canadian National's BC Rail Heritage unit cruises past the Seaboard Spring-Switch Indicator at the north end of the Duke siding near Mt. Holly, NC.
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.
The alien always wondered is there any life among the distant stars. She knew the spot on the great plain where a rare signal could be detected. For a few years she tried to send signals back, and once even got some kind of a reply, though it was impossible to decipher. But now there are no signal, no matter how hard she tried...
This is an idea I wanted to do for a while, and I was hoping to take it on Friday, and post on Saturday, so I would be able to create and post the final picture for 2024 on December 30th/31th, which would mean that I would finally overcome my two weeks lag and would have a picture for every week of 2024, as always, and as if I never broke my streak (which I never did since spring 2019 until this December).
But on Friday I was too exhausted after watching a new episode of Doctor Who, and on Saturday I suddenly felt very, very unwell. The most (and worst) symptoms stopped the next day, but I'm still not feeling well, so it was quite a challenge to build a scene while feeling so (yeah, I'm stubborn). Hopefully I will feel better the next day, but a part of the plan for New Year's Eve is ruined anyway. :(
I'm going to reply to all your comments, notifications (after the last two weeks there are already a lot of them, oh my!) and will check your recent pictures, but obviously not today. :) If the odds would be in my favor tomorrow, I hopefully will post my usual end of the year picture, as planned.
P.S. The background: NASA (JSC)
P.P.S. The legs are sand blue! I didn't realize it will look as light bluish gray in that light. Don't worry, of course, she wears warm pants, it's too cold on the plain at night. :)
P.P.P.S. The scene was partly inspired by Doctor Who soundtrack:

Pinned this extraordinary looking elevator sometime ago.

Visited on my return from east Texas this year.
It's a peculiar build of steel plate fastened with bolts resulting in a ribbed appearance. Fascinating. Finished in black and white to show off its corduroy appearance.
Today, it's a platform for wireless antennas, signals.

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.
Happy Monochrome Monday!
The Signal gasoline station, now Signal Pizza in St. John's neighborhood of Portland, was built and opened in 1939 as a gas station for the Signal Oil Company. It was in operation as a gas station until 1984, but changed brand from Signal Gas to Hellman's Golden Eagle Gas Station in 1954 and, in turn, became a Chevron station in 1965.
