Signal at 14th Street, RF&P in DC, as seen through a small-opening chain link fence at the end of Maryland Avenue, SW DC.
Joliet Union Station, looking south towards the lone surviving Rock Island (now CSX) track plus one of two classic signal bridges over the BNSF & UP tracks. There also once was one over the former Rock Island tracks but it was removed decades ago when it was downgraded to a single track from the three (four?) that once ran alongside Joliet Union Station.
Our site was located next to a pair of signals, so we always knew which track a train was approaching on (even though we could see them from miles away). They are approach-lit (only light if there is a train in the block before them) and when one lites the other displays an advance approach indication (flashing yellow), presumably to confirm that it is working.
If anyone has better information on why it would flash yellow when there is nothing in the block I'd be interested to know!

I'm not entirely sure where this was taken. It may have been either Ridgewood Junction (WJ) or Waldwick Crossovers (WC).
A little bit of artsy photography....
The pretty little signal box at the level crossing at Northorpe, between Gainsborough and Brigg in Lincolnshire. This is on the former Great Central (and before that Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire) railway line. In good condition, much less battered around than the one at Gainsborough Central, for instance. See here.
Brocklesby station and signal box sseen just before closure of the box in October 2015 just before York ROC took over control of the area.
The box is a curiosity, not only is it sunk into the island platform but its panel was intended as an emergency one that could switch in and out as required. The box was to close and Ulceby would have taken over the immediate area, however Brocklesby Signal Box remained and the panel took its place within the huge box, whose levers were removed and the frame boarded over, but it still remained beneath.
BNSF SD70MAC 9897 leads a eastbound coal train under the old CB&Q signal bridge as well as the new signal bridge in LaGrange, IL at the Stone Avenue station. Back in mid-2006, BNSF replaced the signal bridges at Stone Avenue, Western Springs and also to the west of Hinsdale station, The next round of new signals is starting in 2010 in Naperville.
More pictures of the yellow Eagle signals in Bernard Street, outside Cheltenham Secondary College. These signals are still in use as of early 2013, and also still light up red and amber before green.
UPDATE: This signal (thank god!) has finally been replaced with a new Aldridge brand LED signal in July 2012. I was very glad how it lasted and was the responsibility of the local council and not the Department for Transport, Energy & Infrastructure.
A further box visit back in October 2015 was Ulceby Signal Box.
Ulceby had evolved to cover quite a significant area compared with its original area. It had a reduced frame and an IFS panel. There was also room for a panel to cover Brocklesby but this never happened.
Sadly the box was demolished with undue haste following closure, before the local S&T even had time to recover equipment for spares, the box coming down with everything still in place.
The CTC sign at Vance is lined for a westbound freight – as is the signal at Homer – the other end of the siding – in the distance.
Notice how much taller the far signal (Homer) is than the near signal (Vance); the far signal's height allows the signal to be sighted from a distance despite the hill between the two signals.
More pictures of the yellow Eagle signals in Bernard Street, outside Cheltenham Secondary College. These signals are still in use as of early 2013, and also still light up red and amber before green. Note the label 'G+W Eagle Signal Company of Australia' and the attachment of the target board behind the signal instead of around it.
This is just sad to watch! the UP has to put a third main here, and it wont fit under the CNW Signals. Now, only a few hours after this picture was taken, no signal heads exist on the Signal Bridge, and tomorrow (4/22/12), it will be the last day this signal bridge will ever see again :(. My advice to you is go shoot it! Melrose Park, IL.

Seen at an antique and collectors fair at Malvern recently- but all priced at over £200! Needless to say my budget doesn't stretch that far, but I took these pictures anyway (and I could get in touch with the vendor if anyone was interested!)- he said he had them for ages and this was the first time they had been out on sale
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.

Whitwood signal box by the Down Main line at Castleford controlling the junction for the Methley branch to Methley Junction. Saturday 18th April 1987
Whitwood Junction signal box opened on 27th August 1890 fitted with a 26 lever McKenzie & Holland, replacing an earlier signal box. It was extended from 22' to 28' to accommodate a 50 lever McKenzie & Holland Number 16 frame commissioned on 1st February 1906, the signal box possibly being altered from a North Eastern Railway type S1a design to a type S1b design at the same time. The Junction suffix was dropped at some time and the signal box closed on 13th September 1997, along with Castleford Gates and Castleford Station signal boxes and was replaced by signalling controlled from Castleford signal box commissioned on 15th September 1997

This film probably expired about 50 years ago.
Pedestrian crossing outside Westall Primary School which seems to have survived the LED conversion to date. The black paint has worn off the target boards of several signal heads at this crossing

Hitachi 800028 arrives at Worcester Shrub Hill on 1-8-24. Though some semaphores have been replaced there is still a good selection.
The working is the 2E63 1339 Bristol Temple Meads to Worcester Foregate Street service. This is a 5-CAR unit and running 6 minutes late.
The signal box has developed a lean.

A native to the west coast of the US *except* California, the Signal Crayfish has become an invasive pest there and virtually wiped out all native crayfish. It was also introduced to Europe to restock crayfish supplies there after a plague... but it turns out to also be a carrier of said plague and joins the dubious list of introduced animals like the cane toad where a half second of forethought probably could have saved a lot of grief down the road.
Oh well...
A picture of the signal for the entrance to RAF Burtonwood. It has been out of use since May 1993. This was just prior to the US Army vacating the base on 2nd June 1993. At one time the rail network within the base totalled over 4 miles. Various reports state that two or possibly three locomotives were used. A lot of the supplies delivered to the base was wood for use in making packing crates. This being the days before containers. At least one locomotive is preserved. John Fowler 0-4-0DM (22878/1939) No. 169 can be found at the Erwood Craft Centre. The air base was the largest in Europe and has a fascinating history. Some pictures of the railway and the connection to the Manchester to Liverpool main line can be found at www.historicaviationmilitary.com/BRDsite.html. 11th May 2020.
