1054 [58926] LNWR Webb 0-6-2T Coal Tank during the Gala Weekend on the SVR departs from Bridgnorth October 1986
I have removed a modern streetlight which was annoyingly positioned just to the left of the loco. To many uprights next to each other! A little annoyed that the telegraph pole is not fully visible but at least there is an impression that the wires are not just hanging in mid-air.
This is a close-up photo of the rear signal light on my car. In this orientation, it suggests the voluminous interior of an architectural dome.

I came across this photo in a folder from last year. Decided I liked this crop better than what I had previous uploaded eighteen months ago. I hear that this signal is not long for this world, in fact it may very well already be scrap. That's sad. Sandcut is a magical spot, though, and no trip to Tehachapi is complete without spending a few hours here.

View from inside the rebuilt 1861 Stockton & Darlington Railway signalbox at Kirkby Stephen East, HQ of the Stainmore Railway heritage railway, in the process of creating a museum dedicated to the famed Stainmore line and the North Eastern Railway. They say that when complete the box will be the oldest working signalbox in the world. Outside locomotive 2392, a NER 0-6-0 built in 1923, later to become LNER class J27. It's normally resident on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
Signal at the Genoa Museum. Was driving by in the morning when this possible juxtaposition caught my eye. Reversed course, parked and walked around to line up the shot.

One of Scotland's more modern but also short lived signal boxes, Hunterston Junction.
The signal box was built in 1978 to a standard Scottish Region Relay Room design with signalman's area combined. It opened with the commissioning of the short branch off the Largs line into the British Steel High Level Loading Terminal. The new facility built by British Steel allowed iron ore and coal to be rapid loaded to trains direct from conveyors at the Hunterston deep water port replacing what had previously been done at General Terminus Docks on the Clyde in Glasgow. The box opened on 2/4/1978 but initially only controlled movements within the High Level terminal complex and trains running on the 3 mile branch to and from Hunterston Low Level in conjunction with Hunterston BSC Control Tower in the port. It wasn't until 20/7/1986 that it was fully commissioned as a block post on the Largs passenger line when track rationalisation ahead of the electrification of the line resulted in adjacent boxes closing at Fairlie and Holm Junction. Hunterston Junction box ceased to function as signal box when Paisley PSB took over the route on 28//8/1992 when it was down graded to a Ground Frame. So a relatively short life of six years as a fully fledged signal box. It remained in situ controlling access to the High Level Sidings only, being manned by BR yard staff then EWS after privatisation but not in a signalling capacity. With the cessation of coal traffic in 2015 it saw a further downgrade to an unmanned relay room as the branch to the high level was mothballed.
Uckfield Station, East Sussex. The old signal box which also controlled the crossing gates is redundant since the line was cut short here. It is now a rather elaborate mini cab office.
Sometimes we need to walk away so far, even signal won't catch us. Is in the loneliness of those places, when with nature's help, we meet our soul again, in peace.
Just stale air, flickering lights, and posters for parties that never happened.
He waited anyway. Some things don’t show up on maps.

Went down to Kirksanton on my day off due to a very optimistic forecast. Sun was out 'til 5 minutes before the train. 68005 leads the Drigg LLWR stone empties toward Barrow Docks.
I planned to return here to do it in the sun but that was also optimistic as the sun didn't shine on it again before the flow finished.
Does lifting your phone in the air really improve your signal?
The signal bars on our smartphones are one of the great mysteries of modern living, but EE's top network expert, revealed the truth behind our mobile-flailing antics.
According to Howard Jones, the Head of Network Communications at mobile network EE, waving your phone around doesn't make a difference to signal – and could make your signal even worse.
He warns that "if you cover antennas up with your hand, for instance, your hand does get in the way, because the radio waves have to get to the antenna. Your hand being in the way can limit the amount of signal you get".
The direction of phone-waving doesn't really matter, saying that "up, down, left, right" makes "no difference. It's more about where you are.
"What does make a difference is proximity to stuff. If you're in your house, you could lean out the window, if you've got thick stone walls," "Your hand in particular acts as a real barrier, albeit a small one. But the best way to get maximum signal is with headphones, and with your phone out of your pocket."
"Better signal strength will mean faster downloads and updates."
But your phone's mysterious signal bars don't necessarily always mean the same thing.
"One bar on a site with loads of capacity could be better than three or four bars on a site with not much capacity.
Well - and you see people all over the world doing it.
