These photos are from way back - I took a walk around in the midst of the embers and burning trees on the slopes of Signal hill.
I put these together for several reasons. The signal light from a bus showing direction, the signal light at the intersection showing who can procede, and the sun rising, the signal of a new day. To me they signal progressing forward.

I was able to use the flashlight unmodified except for removal of the reflector (which messes up the nice illumination pattern from the LED). Here is my switch extension, mounted in an ABS pipe clean-out plug. The extension is a 0.5 inch dowel, turned down to 0.25 inch on the end to push on the flashlight switch. I glued on a retaining collar cut from tempered hardboard.
The flashlight is mounted to hardboard centering rings. The last ring is pinched between the tube and the end cap, keeping the flashlight at the right position.
Fullarton Rd/Magill Rd/Payneham Rd/North Tce/Baliol St intersection. These signals were the responsibility of the council & not the Department Of Transport. In July 2012, they were finally replaced with Aldridge brand LED signals (thank god!).
Romsey Signal box in Hampshire is now open to the public and the volunteers there have collected a lot of railway memorabilia too.
Union Switch & Signal cast their logo and name into the face of this cast iron pedestal-style position light signal. I wonder how old this unit is.
From Signal Timing Schedule for Traffic Control Plan, June 15, 1929.
Attempted "green wave": 8.5mph on Market; 50 vara district: 10.5 mph north-south, 14.5 mph east-west; 100 vara district: 14.5mph north-south, 20.5mph east-west.
They were very concerned in this plan about whether people would accept having the WALK signal not be at exactly the same time and for the same length as the green light, and decided it wasn't worth risking making them any different. At the start of reading it, my own anxieties made me think they were trying to introduce demand actuation or exclusive turn phases, but really they just wanted to acknowledge that the WALK signal needs to end a few seconds earlier because it takes longer for pedestrians to cross. They also were thinking of having the WALK on the left hand side begin before the green light since there would not be a conflict on that side with vehicles that had been waiting to turn.
Went to a work-related event this evening, over near Baker Street, with my colleague Rosie. Good 'round table' discussion, followed by free drinks (the reason we signed up!), followed by, I'm ashamed to say, a McDonald's on the way home. First one I've had in about eight years - it was a disappointment, so won't bother for another eight.
My new signalbox which is based on a British Railways (London Midland Region) standard design - type 15 design, sits in the vee of lines - the left hand being what I have named as the "branch" (a single line which also forms the headshunt for the WRD and feeds into the fiddle yard), and the right hand lines which are the up and down main lines into and out of the station and the fiddle yard.
Theres lots to do detailing wise. I need to add an interior and maybe lighting, more cable trunking, a signalman, a toilet, and other clutter.

The light trails are not from a train, they are from cars on the road paralleling the tracks. This is a bridge (overpass above a road) that carries both the railroad and a street. I tried this with a train too, but it shook the bridge, and the camera, too much.
Home Signal No 95.8 Controlled by Lithgow Coal Stage Signal Box. This signal is at stop whilst some shunting moves were taking place.

This isn’t the first doodle I ever drew, but it’s the oldest one I have a copy of. This was done as the cover of the “senior edition” of my high school newspaper. I never penciled anything out before I started drawing (and, to be honest, I still don’t), so it was a pretty big task to jump into. Any mistakes instantly became part of the final picture. Good times indeed
Cliburn signal box - one of nine on the route - looked after the adjacent level crossing and controlled access into a goods yard which boasted cattle pens and coal handling facilities. There was only a single running line, serving a platform on the Down side. This accommodated the main building, next to which was the station master's house.
Closure came to Cliburn in September 1956 although through trains continued, requiring the signal box to remain open. But the route succumbed on the same day as Stainmore: 22nd January 1962.
The signal box immediately entered a period of decline; its windows smashed and innards gutted. Some repair work was undertaken in the 1970s but 2012 saw its complete refurbishment, opening as a self-catering holiday let with an extension to the rear.
Leganagh Point signal tower, part of a network of signal towers built around the coast of ireland, each in sight of the next. If an invasion was seen approaching, a fire would be lit, and the message passed around the coast all the way to Dublin. Two more modern look-out huts can be seen behind, used during world wars 1 and 2.
Goulburn was all semaphore signals, controlled from 4 signal boxes until 1979, when it was re-signalled. A new power signalbox was built to control Goulburn and Joppa Junction. In 2009 control of Goulburn interlocking was transferred to Junee control centre, and Goulburn box was closed.
Until the Goulburn resignalling, colour light signals were always mounted roughly around train windscreen height, to keep them within easy sight of train drivers. Gantry mounted signals were slung below the gantry to achieve this. The Goulburn resignalling was the first time in NSW (that I know of) that colour light signals were mounted above the gantry, well above train height. Apparently this was to allow for future electrification, which had been proposed in the early 1970s. The practice continued elsewhere on the main south and other lines, although the current reason is to allow for future double stacking of containers.
