A couple of miles from Blackpool North, 150144 passes Carleton Crossing while forming the 1820 from Manchester Victoria.
Carleton Crossing was the last signal box before Blackpool North, and was built by the LMS to an LNWR type 5 design in 1924.
It was abolished, along with Blackpool North, in early 2018. The route is now electrified.
With the sun starting to set this semaphore will soon be history as new colour light signals are replacing these baeautiful functional works of art
Approaching from the Crewe direction, 66512 leads 4V20 Fiddlers Ferry power station to East Usk Yard, empty coal, towards Shrewsbury.
66165 heads the 6G07 13:50 Fowey Dock to Goonbarrow china clay empties carefully over the bridge and level crossing, passing the lovely semaphores, (controlled by St Blazey box), before picking up speed on the final part of it's short journey.
The line here is unusual having a watercourse to either side of the embankment, a stream to one side and the former canal to Par harbour.

Semaphore. Semaphore is a suburb in the Australian state of South Australia located in north-west of Adelaide on the Gulf St Vincent coastline of the LeFevre Peninsula about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) from the Adelaide city centre.
After snapping a blue hour shot of the Levy semaphores, the thought occurred to me to check to see where Amtrak was. If it was on time, I should have seen it near Raton, but I had not. I assumed it had passed by while out of sight of the freeway, but a check of the Amtrak site showed it was running late...in fact, it was less than 10 minutes away!
In a panic I quickly setup at the intermediates between Levy and Wagon Mound, and with little time to even get off a test shot, I went with an obvious composition.
During my test shot, the semaphore lit, and seconds later, here comes Amtrak barreling towards me, snow blowing like crazy, a truly dramatic sight! Click went the shutter, and the train was here and gone in seconds. Here is the result. The shot certainly captures the speed and blowing snow, but I'll always wonder if I'd had more time if I'd been able to pull off a far more dramatic shot.
This poor guy was the resident star attraction in a hardware come plant shop in Semaphore South Australia. I stood for a while looking at the details in his face and the array of tiny feathers under his eye.

I&M 31 passes a set of classic semaphore signals at the Monticello railway museum in Monticello, IL.
Shrewsbury station and its environs still has an abundance of semaphore signals, a mixture of both upper and lower quadrant variants. A Transport for Wales Class 158 unit waits to depart with a service to Aberystwyth. 11-10-23.
A westbound train on the Minnesota Prairie Line passes the semaphore on display by the depot in Fairfax. This is the former Minneapolis & St Louis Railway line to Watertown, South Dakota. It crossed the Great Northern at Hanley Falls, Minnesota, and my understanding is that this semaphore once protected that crossing, but was actually one of the GN signals, not on the M&StL. In any case, it's nice to have a piece of signaling history preserved along this line.

I chose the 791 semaphore for my final shot of Amtrak with semaphores on this trip. I couldn't pick just one between these two so you get both.
Alternatively titled Blades of Glory , but how many puns can you fit into one Photostream, right? Amtrak 122 leads the eastbound Southwest Chief between the ancient Santa Fe semaphore signals at Milepost 722.1 on BNSF's Raton Subdivision a little east of Wagon Mound, New Mexico. This was a day trip down from Denver, and it was very much so worth it.

With light levels falling rapidly, GWR Castle Class 4-6-0 No 5403 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe' passes the attractive box at Whittlesea with the returning 'Elge Explorer' (Tyseley-Ely-Tyseley).

This was 2C83, the 10.43 York to Leeds train, & 170461 will be back at Harrogate in 10 minutes time. The rear of the train is on the foot crossing while the front is on the famous River Nidd viaduct. Note the iconic signal box and semaphore signal.

I really like this location, just a shame that the sun wasn't on the nose.
Special thanks to Tim Moran for the tour.

By 1986, there weren't very many semaphore signals in service on California railroads. This pair stood guard at the west switch of Hilt siding, a couple of miles inside the Golden State. These signals were removed a few years later, when Southern Pacific made the Siskiyou Line dark territory between Ashland and Black Butte.
