For now, signal territory starts and ends between here and Merrill Road some 11-12 mile ahead. Furthermore, there is a gap of about 10 miles west between here and MP 180 where the next signal lies. In the coming year(s) with both slated grant work and CSX taking over, TCS will be extended from MP180 through to Leeds Junction and create actual controlled sidings, as well as control the ability to line the switch at Leeds Jct. For now, it's business as usual on Pan Am as they get underway out of Danville encroaching on the dark hours of the day.
The old Hayling Billy Railway signal with Teenagers at play.
Can anyone read their signal !!!!
My good wife and I decided to visit the coast of Hayling Island for a cooldown and for a fish and chip supper yesterday evening.
On our way back I decided to stop for a few takes of Langstone from Hayling end. Whilst looking towards the bridge, suddenly I heard a lot of commotion towards the old railway line,only to see this.
I was quite pleased with these as I was shooting straight towards the sunsetting behind them and thought that they would make good silhouettes.

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.

To signal danger as it runs away, the white-tail deer raises its tail revealing a bright patch of white under its tail and at the base of its tail.

CSX Z360-22 (NS 117) splits the J139 intermediate signals at Whiteside, TN on CSX's Chattanooga Subdivision with Norfolk Southern's First Responder 60E leading a BNSF GEVO and a BNSF ACe on the Sheffield, AL bound mixed freight. 5/22/16
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.
Something we see often but never really notice, as traffic signal maintenance takes place. Given an oil paint treatment.
Cabot Tower is a tower in St. John's, Newfoundland, situated on Signal Hill. Construction of the tower began in 1898 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland, and Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
In 1901, Guglielmo Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless message at a position near the tower, the letter "S" in Morse Code sent from Poldhu, Cornwall, United Kingdom.
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.
I recently had been going through my archives looking for some other photos when I stumbled upon some previously unedited images that I had set aside to edit. So I did a few quick edits and will hopefully be presenting these images over the next several days. This is another of those photos.
On one of my few trips to the BNSF Chillicothe Sub in the final months of the famous Santa Fe-era signal bridges and cantilevers with searchlights, we happened to be exploring the line between Mazon & Ancona. We were on the way back from Ancona when we noticed an oncoming train in the east. We cut a beeline to the nearest crossing, which just happened to be a small cluster of houses south of Streator. The train turned out to be (if I remember correctly) NSIGAL, the train that comes off the Norfolk Southern Kankakee Sub on the south side of Streator. We had seen this train holding for orders or new crew earlier when we had been exploring around Streator.
Anyway, after the train passed, we noticed an odd little gravel drive that went through a cluster of trees next to the tracks. What we could not see from the road we would soon discover. Inside the trees we discovered this abandoned building. At first glance, we thought it was an abandoned farm building of some sort, you could see old hay through the collapsing walls.
But the more I looked at it, the more I thought it might be an old long-forgotten depot. This building's proximity to the railroad tracks seemed too suspicious to me, and the windows and door seen in the image did not seem like they belonged were original features, while the dual sliding doors also seen in this image clearly were not (and may have done more to compromise the stability of this building than anything else). The only way for us to know for sure was to find the tell-tale feature of almost every railroad depot, the bay window that the station agents used for seeing oncoming trains.
I should add, it had been raining all day this day, a very hard and steady rain that will soak you to the bone in minutes, and only with proper rain gear is it tolerable. Also, the grass here was knee-high and covered in poison ivy. Even though it meant soaked pants, socks, & shoes, and potentially getting poison ivy, we walked around to the trackside of the building. And just as I had predicted, there it was, the bay window! Granted, it was worse for wear, but still plain as day. So not only was this building a depot, we soon discovered that it was not listed in my friends listings of known depots!
With no idea of this place, a peek inside revealed this depot's life after retirement. Sometime after it was disused as a depot, it was converted to farm use of some sort. Either a second floor was added or the existing ceiling was lowered, with the new upper story used to store hay. This second floor had largely collapsed over time, but old rotten hay could still be seen matted to the floor like a pile of wet sheep's wool. The double doors were likely added about the same time and no doubt housed some sort of farm machinery.
Almost convinced we stumbled upon a mystery nearly lost to time, we called it quits and finally headed for home. Later that night, some research and Google Maps revealed what we had found. It turns out we were in the tiny blip of a town named Reading that sits between Streator and Ancona, and this was indeed the old Santa Fe Reading depot. It had never been moved and was indeed in its as-built location. My friend never did find it in is depot resources, and we could only speculate that its use as a farm building may have masked its life when that list of depots was compiled (I want to say his version dated from 2006 or so). About a year later, however, when we learned of DepotMaps.com, we were able to confirm our reasearch.
Sorry, I know this is long, so I'll sum up this way. We found this in October 2017. I have no idea if this thing still survives today, much less whether it's standing. But as of this writing, a look on Google satellite view shows what might be building walls or the outline of a foundation. It's just too hard to tell. And with no street views out in rural Reading, the only way to know is to drive by it.

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.
this girl biked from British Columbia to Newfoundland across all of Canada. There was l think about 100 of them that started out, she told us one was 70.
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.

A Shot of the Forowalk in Berne last Thursday. Lots of Bicycles in this City.
I just tested the Meyer-Optik-Goerlitz Primoplan 1.9/75mm neo attached to the Sony ILCE-6300 (Alpha 6300). I do love the Bokeh and Quality of this manual Lense. Shot at F=1.9!

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.
