Many of the places I've recently visited in Maine have limited or non-existent cell phone reception, at least on my pay-as-you-go phone. I was amused to see this woman talking on her phone, with her arm wrapped around a flagpole. I wondered if she had discovered the secret to boosting her cell phone signal. ; ) Seen at Owl's Head Light State Park in Owl's Head, Maine, USA on August 13, 2010.
as semaphore signals are mostly a thing of the past i grabbed a shot off this while it is still there to be photographed .

Around 160m (or at an 8 Car length) most signals in the suburban are placed apart from each other. Generally, as you get more out of the city, the signals get further apart (due to longer, heavier freight trains using the line) and after the suburban boundary, single light signals are used.
I'm no Signaler nor train driver but my basic knowledge of signals are:
- Advance Causion/Green over Yellow (Front)
- Causion/Green Over Red, ie next signal stop (Backgound)
- Stop/Red over Red (far Background)
I would assume there is a Cleer to Proceed signal (Green over Green) behide me and beyond the station. There a numerus other types of signal displays, but I'm not going to go further into that. This is just how basic mainline running is done.

Title: Signal of Distress
Artist: Winslow Homer (American, Boston, Massachusetts 1836–1910 Prouts Neck, Maine)
Date: 1890–96
Culture: American
Medium: Oil on canvas
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 899
Though Homer’s paintings were always informed by the sum of his experiences, in the 1890s he began intentionally mining his past sketches for inspiration. For Signal of Distress, in which a group of sailors prepares to launch a lifeboat during a storm, the artist may have returned to studies he made on his journey to England aboard the steamship Parthia in 1881, merging them with other observations of the sea and rescues accumulated over the years. Between first exhibiting the painting in 1891 and selling it in 1896, Homer altered the composition to create a more desperate scene. Notably, the distressed boat on the horizon, originally shown in full sail, now appears with neither sail nor any indication of human presence, nearly subsumed by waves.

What's a trip to St. John's without a quick tear up to Signal Hill? If you aren't impressed by the view you should at least get up there so you can get a feel for the wind. Personally I'd recommend feeling its strength in the summer when it doesn't cut like a high speed sword of frost, but still worth a go.
