The BNSF 6516 is shown here framed in the elderly Santa Fe signal bridge at Toluca, Illinois as she leads a hot Los Angeles to New York doublestack train eastward toward Chicago. The signal bridges, cantilevers, and searchlight signals pictured here are threatened by progress as signal modernization is slated for the ex-Santa Fe Chillicothe Subdivision in the coming months.
The train is symboled as Z LACNYC9 19L.
A simple-looking signal along the edge of the yard at Kelly Lake. No shield behind the signal, just a signal in its simplicity. In the background are the searchlights near the yard office.

A heavily modified image of Deganwy signal box, I wanted to give the picture the feel of a poster/drawing - I think it worked ok.

Here's a shot of this morning's sunrise... captured from Signal Hill.
This image is made up of three photos... each captured with a different exposure... and then blended together using luminosity masks.

I moved out to Indiana too late to ever see any of the surviving NKP signals on Norfolk Southern in use. But not too far across the state line into Ohio resides a ton of retired but still standing NKP signals on the RJ Corman Western Ohio Lines. Although this one at west end of St Marys is cluttered with telephone wires, it was the only one we had time to see a train at. I'm still happy with this shot, despite the wires. I find it's always important to document what you can today, because it may not be there tomorrow or next time!

This year we decided to spend a few days down in the Tetons, rather than our usual jaunt through the park on our way to/from Yellowstone. We stayed at Signal Mountain Lodge, which was an amazing place...grand views of the Tetons right from our deck. On our last morning in the park, we decided to take the drive up to the Signal Mountain Summit and wait for the sun to rise. Initially, I was a bit disappointed because there was a lot of smoke & haze throughout the park as a result of a prescribed fire. But even with that type of atmosphere, the Tetons lit up in all their glory....what a heavenly way to start the day :-)
Btw...this spot was recommended by a flickr friend, Bruce Oakley (bhophotos)....so thanks to him we had a perfect ending to our stay in the park. If you get a chance, be sure to check out his photostream. And thanks for all the wonderful comments & support!!!!
Halfway between Hanoi and Halong Bay we stopped off at some touristy destination that specialised in marble carvings. There was some pretty amazing stuff, i just chose to spend my 20 minutes walking around the bus depot.
I don't know what's going on here but I like it

LL6 signal gets some attention on a forsty morning in Jan 2024. This will soon be a thing of the past!
Working signals at Crewe Heritage Centre. See if I have this right? Red for signals, black for points and blue to lock the points. Very useful for a b&w shot!
I was looking for a nice place to take some shoots.
By chance I get to a narrow road in the countryside.
At the end of the road there was a nice railway and all around, a lot of rusty stuff.
Light was awesome so I could get some great captures.
I hope you like this one.

After being to Savage, I can say one thing... Signals are everywhere. From the looks of it there are two CPs in the same location from the MARC station just east past the Vulcan interchange track.
here we see a westbound empty coal train coming through Savage on the way back to a mine in West Virginia.

Derailment in Topeka
This afternoon, 14-ish wells of an eastbound stack train went on the ground in front of the Great Overland Station in North Topeka. This is CP Z068 on UP's Kansas and Topeka Subs, and as this was the ILBG4, it was spanning both subs, and mains at the time of the wreck.
Surprisingly, everything remained upright, but the derailment did take out one of the east-facing signals at 68 (don't worry, it's a new one already). You can see said signal laying on the ground here, sticking out of the bottom of this well car. Whoops!
7.10.2018. Robin Riddles designed BR Standard Class 5MT 4-6-0 No 73156, gets away from the signal check with the 11.30 vans to Rothley Brook.
A broken cable meant that every train had to be flagged away from the signal.

Slightly obscured behind the hedge at Cloughton Station the home signal is still set to danger. Probably not a surprise since there are no rails!
A few long term rail contacts on Flickr will know that for many years my dad has been looking for an image of this signal box. It was the first place he worked and no matter where he looked or who I spoke with we couldn't find a photo of the box. Everything changed this week. Not just one picture but two came to light. This one was purchased by dad and shows the box and an unknown entourage at some point prior to the Great War.
The box was built by the Great Northern Railway in 1893 and closed by British Railways in 1970. I will let dad supply a few additional notes.
Signalmen were: Clifford Dickinson, Arthur Burton and Bill Humphreys, working three shifts in turn, 6.0 am to 2.0 pm, 2.0 pm to 10.0 pm and 10.0 pm to 6.0 am, days, afternoons and nights, Monday to Saturday, starting a new shift every Monday. The branch line to Castleford and Methley did not operate on Sunday. Train register lads: John Firth and Keith Matthews, working days and afternoon shift alternate weeks.
The box controlled the up and down main and goods lines to and from London to Leeds, the branch line to and from Methley, the East and West line to Robin Hood, the Lofthouse colliery sidings lines and the goods yard at Outwood. Quite busy at times.
I have a recollection of a then, circa 1954, experimental diesel unit testing on the Methley to Leeds line, it deliberately stopped on the steepest part of the 1 in 49 uphill gradient near the junction with the main line, then set off again with no problems. Steam engines often needed a ‘banker’ engine at the rear to assist them up the incline. My signalman friend remarked, “Well John that’s thefuture, we won’t need steam engines when these take over”.
Train register lads duties were: recording, the exact time of all bell contacts relating to the passage of each train in the registers, (eight entries per train). There were different bell codes for each type of train, a light engine was 2-3 rings, an express passenger train 4 bells, etc. Other duties were receiving and transmitting Morse code telegraph messages, telephoning Leeds Central Control with times of VIP trains, etc. Non clerical duties included keeping the box clean and levers polished, washing the many windows, emptying the chemical toilet and burying it behind the box. Plus the unofficial task of operating the box whilst the signalman had his breakfast or tea. Happy days.
