Northbound towards Detroit. Note that the City of Windsor prefers 12-12-12 (or 12-12-12-12-12) signals, and until recently, without backplates. Ambassador Bridge in horizon.

Scropton signal box on the Derby to Crewe line . This is a North Staffordshire Railway "Type 2" box opened in 1889. Whereas its neighbour Sudbury lost its semaphores in 1990 during an aborted project to abolish the box and replace it with cctv supervised barriers, Scropton retains its full set of Section signals.
A fading sight on the railways, at Kirkham, North Yorkshire. It is still used as a proper signal box as it is on a main branch line coming in towards York. The gates are also automatically closing, so they haven't been replaced with the raising barriers.
Repeater signals at North Weald in case of fog. I'm guessing it displays green when the home signal displays clear, and yellow when the home displays stop (danger).

Signal Hill has long been used for observation and communication. Here, signalmen surveyed the ocean for ships headed into St. John's harbour, years before the advent of ship-to-shore radio. From signal masts high atop the Hill, flags conveyed information on approaching vessels to military and mercantile interests in St. John's. Merchants then had plenty of time to prepare their docks for incoming vessels.
With its obvious strategic location, Signal Hill became the site of harbour defences from the 18th century through the Second World War. The last battle of the Seven Years' War in North America was fought here in 1762. Ruins of later 19th -century military buildings can still be seen. The first known defences of St. John's harbour were shore batteries constructed on either side of the Narrows to protect St. John's against naval attack. St. John's fell to the French marching overland from Placentia in 1696, 1705 and again in 1709. In 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht recognized British sovereignty over Newfoundland, temporarily ending conflict between Britain and France.
In June 1762, the French again captured St. John's, this time to strengthen France's bargaining position after the loss of Louisbourg and Quebec. In September, the British reclaimed the Town when Lieutenant-Colonel William Amherst advanced on St. John's from Torbay. By taking Signal Hill first, Amherst had a strategic advantage over the French at Fort William. They surrendered after a night of mortar bombardment from the Hill. Fort Townsend was built in the 1770s, out of range of Signal Hill's guns.
The fortification of Signal Hill began during the Napoleonic Wars. Queen's, Wallace's, Waldegrave, Duke of York's, Quidi Vidi Pass and Carronade Batteries date from this period. The Hill was the place of ultimate retreat for the garrison at Forts William and Townsend. An impressive show of strength here in 1796 deterred a French fleet, under Admiral de Richery.
Thanks to Network Rail I have been given the opportunity to document Signalman and women in their working environment.
