(four more photos of this night in the comments)
Unlike last year’s submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last year’s photos, so I found 2 new subjects.
Take time to pause for reflection, even in not 4-way. If you like this format, I have another 1700+ quadrants on my Flickr site, with a variety of subjects . Zoom in to find find interesting surprises in the center.
Canon EOS 80D + Orion SkyQuest XT10 + Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate (giving an effective focal length of 3,000 mm).
Broadstairs, December 2019.
I have posted a shot of the last remaining lower quadrant Midland Railway signal at Leicester London Road station before (in 2007!) but this view shows more of the 1894 overall station roof & walls. The train in platform 4 is the same as that seen on the previous shot. This pic was taken from what was Upper Fox Street on the Up side by the goods avoiding lines.
Why this MR relic was still there I'm not sure - all the other signals were modern upper quadrant in 1975 - & it always seemed to be pulled off so maybe it didn't actually control any movements & was kept as a historical reminder of earlier Midland days (see below). If so it was still swept away in the 1980s when the area was resignalled.
To get this shot today I would have to stand in the car park of Leicester Mosque & try to peer through the thick growth of birch & other trees that now mask the railway.
V/Line's Clyde-rebuilt A62 passes under the photogenic signal gantry at Benalla with an Up Albury broad gauge service on 6 August 1989. This was a bonus shot as we were actually waiting for 'Flying Scotsman' to turn up.

The area called Little London looking to Priory Park, a lovely open area with ancient monuments and surrounded by the city wall on two sides in the north eastern quadrant of Chichester.
This is made entirely of vintage fabric and is one quadrant of a pattern I found called "Obsession".

Taken with an old Vokar camera (not the sharpest lens).
This lower-quadrant dwarf had no green "clear" aspect, only amber "restricting" and red "stop" aspects.
This was taken on the Jersey Central's Newark and New York Branch, at the junction with the Newark Branch to Elizabethport. At one time, trains had a direct route from here to the Communipaw ferry terminal in Jersey City. At the time of this photo, shuttle passenger trains still ran from Broad Street, Newark to Kearney or Elizabethport.
Quadrant Carette 2x3 Tricycle (1904) Engines 2 x 369cc (792cc)
Registration Number Unknown
Quadrant were one of the first British bicycle manufacturers to branch out into Motorcycle and Tricycle production. In the early years of the 20th century the tricar held a special position in the market: in comfort, ease of control and economy it stood between a car and a motorcycle.
In 1904 Quadrant introduced their 6hp Carette model, to a favourable reception. An unusual feature was its twin separate mirrored engines. Advertised as smart and comfortable the ad noted that the driver sat in a comfortable position in a Brooks bucket seat and controls the machine with a steering wheel rather than handlebars. The platform upon which the driver’s feet rest is spring-insulated, and powerful pedal-applied brakes act on the steering wheel hubs and the engine countershaft. The open-backed frame and sprung bucket seat will be appreciated by tricyclists, while the well-known spiral suspension-spring insulation of the Quadrant Tricycle has been retained for the fore-carriage. Twin engines of 3 HP, air-cooled, drive through a two speed gearbox

London United DT26, a Dennis Dart with Duple 'Dartline' bodywork pictured in a traffic jam on The Quadrant in Richmond Surrey on 28th April 1990. At the time, the bus was brand new having been just delivered to London United that very month. The Dartline body was only used on the Dennis Dart chassis, however, Duple only produced the Dartline during 1990, before the designs were sold onto Carlyle for continued production in 1990/1. To be honest, I quite liked the asymmetric look of these buses when they first arrived on the scene, especially as they appeared a little different from the offerings of other body builders of the time.
In January 2000, this bus and sister bus DT16 (G516VYE) were sold to Southern Vectis for further service. I believe that this particular vehicle has since been acquired by the West Wight Bus Group on the Isle of Wight, as a preservation project:
Haughmond Abbey near Shrewsbury on Monday 17th July 2023. The raised area to the right was part of the abbey cloister; a walled walkway usually overlooking a quadrant garden or courtyard.
Detail of one of the doors of the Archbishop`s palace in Passau. Rich wood tones contrast with the gilt door furniture.

Quadrant fits into oak box with partial label of William Davenport, instrument dealer in Philadelphia.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - I went to Bear Butte, South Dakota, to try to capture the Quadrantid Meteor Shower. But it was cloudy most of the night. I did see a few between 2 and 3 AM when the sky cleared briefly. I later learned the meteor shower peaked earlier than expected, which favored observers in Europe.
