Farewell to the semaphores. This may be the last I get to see them. If you look carefully, you can see the new signal standing between the two semphores.

D&H/Guilford 7420 leads an Eastbound Sealand train on track 1 as it passes the semaphore at 342 in Canaseraga, NY on December 29, 1985. Track 2 is visible just below the number boards of the 7420. Eastbound trains were run on track 1 between Hunt and Hornell due to the slow speeds on track 2, which was 10mph at this time.
Amtrak's Southwest Chief, train No3 bound for Los Angeles from Chicago polishes the rails at Wagon Mound, New Mexico on May 2, 2019. The famous semaphores of the region have yet again been placed on the desk of discussion in recent months as to when they'll succumb to the hand of modernization although this technology of nearly 90 to 100 years old is still getting the job done. If one looks around just a slight bit on the Chief's route between Albuquerque and Trinidad you'll find this section of intriguing railroad is just about a virtual museum Amtrak is operating on. From the famed semaphores to rail dating from 1945, the end of WWll, date nails on active sections of 79mph jointed rail. It's enough to keep the mind wondering as to what it would've been like to see those solid sets of F units running 100 with the El Capitan or even the last days of steam operations.

Signals BS27 and BS33 at Banbury, with Banbury South Box behind. 21st May 2011. These two traditional GWR lower-quadrant signals were actually installed in 2010 in order to facilitate the speedy turnaround of diverted First Great Western services during the Reading remodelling. They were removed in 2016 when Banbury itself was remodelled and resignalled.

The Semaphore Tower is located on Chatley Heath. The Tower was once part of a chain which was used to pass messages between the Admiralty in Whitehall and the Royal Naval Dockyard in Portsmouth , sort of a very early telegraph system using line of sight tower sending messages in Semaphore instead of wires . It was built in 1822 and is now the only restored surviving tower in a line of signalling stations that stretched from London to Portsmouth. The Tower is open to the public once a month between March and September - not sure since Covid though .

It’s good to know there are still tucked away places in UK where semaphores abound. Peak Forest in Derbyshire is one such location. In this scene, 60044, 'Dowlow', having moved box wagons with aggregate in the left siding, returns to the stabling point. Meanwhile, 66176 behind, will depart shortly with the 6H52 Dowlow Briggs to Ashburys.

In the summer of 2013 coal traffic was considerably more buoyant than even 2 years later, let alone compared to their virtual extinction in 2020.
With the third coal train in less than 2 hours, 66607 draws forward from Rugeley power station towards Rugeley Town station, waiting for a passenger train to clear before heading south with 4V47, the 1115 Rugeley to Stoke Gifford.
The semaphores here were controlled by Brereton Sidings signal box, located south of Rugeley Town station. The Chase line was resignalled later in 2013, with electrification and W10 gauge enhancement completed in December 2018.

Uploaded for historical value this shot captures Deltic 55013 "The Black Watch" racing south through Newark Northgate under double pegs with the 09.04 Bradford - Kings Cross (1A14) on 7th May 1977.
The point and crossover accessed the GN branch to Bottesford (evidenced by the bracket signal) but track rationalisation was already underway which would see this removed and the layout significantly streamlined. Compare this with another shot recently uploaded taken in January 1979.
