58RM passes the Kensington Signal Box. The Signal Box was commissioned in 1918 and for many years the points and signals were controlled by a lever frame and also a switch panel was also in there to control Newmarket Junction.
Now all signalling is controlled by computer based interlocking and interface in the signal box.

RD14391. The GWR STEAM Museum at Swindon commemorates the work of the many thousands of employees that built and ran the Great Western Railway, and those that toiled at Swindon Works until it was closed by British Railways in 1986.
The importance of signalling isn't forgotten and these three miniature lower quadrant semaphore signals are arranged to demonstrate to visitors how much harder it gets to pull off a signal the further it is from the signal box.

The original Bideford signal box was demolished in 1968 but a replica of it was built in 1991. Itās exactly the same apart from not having a chimney breast. In 2004 a lever frame was installed together with related signaling fittings so you can still pull the levers and imagine youāre letting a train through! In 2018 a replica running-in-board was erected next to the box.
Barry signal box, August 2013. A large building which housed 77 lever frames in 1957, but has just 4 active semaphore levers in use today. It would have been a very busy signal box in its day, with coal traffic to Barry Docks and passenger services to Barry Island. Sadly, after 116 years of service, it is due to be decommissioned in January 2014. Aberthaw signal box was closed down in early 2013, and other signal boxes in South Wales including Ystrad Mynach and Bargoed on the Rhymney line, are scheduled to be decommissioned in September 2013. This is the result of modernisation by Network Rail, where all signalling will soon be controlled from Cardiff.
Taken 22/07/12: I was in Wool for the DāUrberville Dash 10K and took the opportunity to snap the signal box (incidentally the Station Building must be one of the ugliest on the National Network). Based on the following from the SEG web-site, this may have been a timely snap:
āNext year [2013?] the line between Parkstone and Weymouth will be re-signalled, with control then from Basingstoke ASC. Signal boxes to be closed are Poole, Hamworthy, Wareham , Wool and Dorchester South. ā¦ Wool ā¦ dates from the 1890s and appears to have original frames. ā¦ [and has] been altered over the years ā¦ the Network SouthEast extension ā¦ is far from sympathetic to the original structure."
Looks like Iāll have to try and get to Poole and Hamworthy in the near future.

While pawing through a box of "Stuff" at IRM today, I discovered this rare Chicago St Paul Minneapolis & Omaha RR (A C&NW Subsidiary until 1957 or 1958) rule book from October 1930. As Jon Roma can explain once he sees this (And recovers his shock) Banjo Signals were about the 1st "Color Light" type signals in the US and were introduced in the very early 1900's. They were replaced by both semaphore signals and color "Searchlight" signals in later years and were mostly gone from the C&NW Family by 1930. But enough were still in existence that the CMO had to retain the rules covering them in their 1930 rule book. By this time, Banjo Signals were getting quite rare.
I have never seen one in person and this is one of the very few times I have seen them shown in an operating rule book.
UP SD70ACe 8604 heads west through Glen Ellyn, IL back in late 2009, before the signal bridge was put up west of Park Blvd! This certainly looks different these days.
Chacewater signal box on the Down (towards Penzance) platform at Chacewater railway station
Chacewater signal box was a Great Western Railway Company type 7d design fitted with a 35 lever Great Western Railway Company Vertical Tappet 3-bar frame that was ordered in March 1912. It was inspected on 17th November 1914 and replaced an earlier signal box. A 2 lever miniature frame was installed at some time to operate the detonator placers and a British Railways Western Region key control instrument was commissioned on 10th March 1957 controlling 100 signal (up intermediate block). The signal box closed on 12th June 1977 when the absolute block section was extended to between Truro and Drump Lane signal boxes

Dating from 1920, the former Midland & Great Northern Railway signal box at Cromer was closed when resignalling took place in 2000, transferring control to Trowse Bridge, Norwich. The box is now preserved. Class 156 dmu no. 156409 approaches with 2S51, a Bittern Line service from Sheringham to Norwich.
Upminster Signal Box, 12 July 2025 built in 1932. Designed by the LMS Chief Architect, William Henry Hamlyn.
Signal Hill (Bukit Bendara) is one of the highest points in KK city proper, so they built an observation deck which is one of the best spots to get a good view of Kota Kinabalu city. You can take a taxi to the observation deck, or you can try the jungle trek where you scale the side of Signal Hill. Since our trip to KK was an "outdoor recreation" trip, we tried the jungle trek! :)

Het hoogste punt van Belgiƫ is de Signal de Botrange met zijn 694m.
Tot WOI was de Baraque Michel (674m) het hoogste punt van Belgiƫ. Samen met de oostkantons werd de Botrange Belgisch grondgebied na WOI.
We saw them everywhere, never mind the fact that there is hardly any traffic. I guess they're handy in a country where power cuts are plentiful. They do have real traffic signals, but we didn't see any in use.

A Midland box in the rain. Fiskerton, seen here on a wet August day, situated on the Nottingham to Lincoln line contained a Midland Tumbler frame of 16 levers. Both box & frame date from 1902.
"Surely it's worth a few funny smells and a little noise to live this close to the beach."
Signal Hill was already being developed as a residential zone when the discovery well, Alamitos #1, came in with a gusher so strong it went 100 feet into the air.
People kept buying the lots, of course, and sometimes still living on them, though as often as not leasing their front or back yard to well drillers. They got a cut of the moola if the well hit, which they all did. Everyone's got their own priorities in home improvement, I guess.
Even today, this part of L.A. has oil pumps nodding away in all manner of unlikely places right next to inhabited structures. There are health issues, but then the air in L.A. is already pretty toxic.
This photo is a colorized detail from a large panorama of Signal Hill that is available at the Library of Congress site. They can find no renewal of the old copyright, so the whole thing is presumed to be in the public domain.
