A hybrid pairing of 53242/53844 make up Tyseley set T032. The train was the 11.03 Birmingham to Great Malvern, it is passing the doomed Rowley Regis signal box, which was a lovely little GWR standard box.

The track gang are taking out the connection into the yard which had closed. The line, which is still in occasional use, forms one of two goods loops at Rowley Regis. Behind the train on the horizon is a blast furnace which must be in the Langley Green area?

Out along the tracks. letting the engineer know what's coming. Hoping for an "all clear".

Railroad tracks along the Schuylkill River. Philadelphia, PA.

A small signal light sits along the active rail lines headed through Thurmond WV. I'm not sure what this type of signal is called.....the one in the foreground......nor what it would be for. If someone knows, I'd love to learn more about it. I just noticed that it was lit up and snagged a picture as we were readying to leave towards our next destination.

Westbound Norfolk Southern manifest 13Q splits the matched pair of bracket mast former NYC signals at CD 309 on the NS Chicago Line outside Swanton, OH on the evening of August 4, 2016. These signals are the last of their kind in the state of Ohio and are living on borrowed time.

In a golden sunset, an AC is in charge of a small eastbound train 408, as they split the signals crossing the border from New Brunswick into Nova Scotia. I was standing on the Nova Scotia side, at Fort Lawrence.

 

It doesnt happen very often, but in this instance, I was able to get multiple shots of the exact same train, at the same location, even using the same lens.

 

Here are the other two shots:

Although similar, each photo has a different scene, and feel to it. Well, it does to me anyway..

Recorded passing one of the Great Northern somersault signals at Havenhouse in late June 1985, BR Class 31/1 31306 was about to cross Croft Marsh Lane with the 13:30 Skegness to Leeds.

This is the colour version of a mono image given an outing some six years ago. If only I had a Tardis to enable me to have some Summer Saturdays back then with a digital to hand?

It's a fine September afternoon on the CSX's Altenheim Subdivision in Chicago, as we approach signal 59-E which is displaying an approach indication for our eastbound ore train.

We will be looking for a stop indication up and around the tight curve at Roosevelt Road.

A sight that will (possibly) soon become history in Henrietta, a westbound NS intermodal train passes between the two sets of signals near the abandoned Lexington Road Bridge. A new set of vaders wait patiently across the right-of-way from the old color light signals that once replaced the Wabash searchlights. The vaders were erected a couple of years ago, so the time the color lights fall could be anyone's guess.

North Shore merchant car 229 passes the searchlight signal East of Union, IL.

blagged night photographer and graham to stop at this location and ended up staying for a good few hours

This flagpole was once used in the old harbour to signal which were incoming and which were outgoing ships. It later was used as a meteorological station and moved to this location after it had no further use. It now marks the location of Pong Patchamit Fort

I have uploaded this picture just to explore the interesting situation outlined in an earlier upload on my site.

 

37250+37087 begin to back 7M71, the steel “blooms” from Lackenby into the British Steel plant, Workington on 1 May 1984. It seems odd that this move is delaying the passage of the passenger train (there are passengers on board its not ecs) seen here held at Moss Bay Iron Works' outer down home signal.

 

The most likely explanation for this is a signalling fault explored in the image below

 

Cascades train 506 awaits a highball at Vancouver, Washington in May 2013. The triple-stacked searchlight signals were replaced a few years later.

These two friends were really enjoying the great views and taking pics of each other on a nice, clear Southern California afternoon.

NJ Transit Arrow III car no. 1509 is the lead unit on Montclair-Boonton Line train 208, seen approaching Glen Ridge Station. The signals here at CP Glen are approach lit, and appear to only activate for trains within the block proceeding them - they illuminated immediately as the train passed and entered the signal block.

I am glad that I was able to take three colors or more at the same time.

By the way, the world's first signal seemed to be installed in the London city in 1868, but seems to have exploded immediately.

ところで、世界で最初の信号機は1868年にロンドン市内に設置されたそうですが、すぐに爆発してしまったそうです。

These signalling platforms were a nautical version of railway semaphore signals and were used to communicate with steamships entering the port of Cardiff during the late 19th century.
