no matter how much the city of pae mucks up the foreshore, thank god they can't fuck with the sunset...
Were at Savanna next to the tower with semaphores everywhere .The two GP-40's are heading into the engine facility next to the round house in the summer of 1980
The conductor is changing the aspect on the semaphore signals so that CP 1608 can lead Exporail's excursion train to Hays Station to lay over after the last run of the day.
40145 leaves Aviemore with 1Z32 0440 Carlisle to Inverness on 5th September 2009.
Was pleased to have uncovered this in my collection as I couldn't believe I didn't have any photos of either the box or semaphores of Aviemore. Despite travelling over the Central Highland line many many times since 1981, the absorbing of this box into the Inverness SCC crept up and it was closed before I had chance to record any specific shots here.
So this'll have to do, a view from one of the best runs I've had in preservation of '145 - the run over Drumochter was stunning.
The Highland box was opened in 1898 and closed on 26th March 2019
Looking North From the down Platform at Kirkconnel with the Signalbox and Semaphores in view.The Signalbox dates from 1911 with a Stephens GNP/GSW 42 lever frame. This is the last station in Dumfries and Galloway before you come to New Cumnock in Ayrshire. On a morning like today the views of the surrounding hills are superb.
45037 approaches Exeter St Davids with the summer Saturday 08.02 Nottingham - Paignton on the 16th July 1983. Semaphores abound.
66 614 departs Great Rocks Junction with 6L89 Tunstead to West Thurrock. Semaphore signalling, complete with operational distants, still very much in evidence along the former Midland Main Line.
I'm not really sure that I can think of anywhere that you might see a class 68 in a sea of lower quadrants. Worcester is a possibility I guess, maybe somewhere along the Marches. Other than that...
There aren't many places left on the national network that can boast lower quadrant semaphores like Bewdley can, the ex-GW signalling is getting decidedly thin on the ground. Enjoy them while you can, unlike Superb (68025, not 50002!) they probably don't have much of a future...

Powering out from Loughborough Central, LMS Class 3F 'Jinty' no. 47406 hauls the 09.15 shuttle to Rothley, leading the rake of 2 Suburban coaches. On the signal gantry above, all roads are set to 'Danger'.
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.
An attractive array of semaphores to photograph survive at Blackpool North. 150114 leaves the terminus with signals and the box setting the scene, Thursday 5.9.13

Another view of the Semaphores at Shrewsbury this time from the north end of the station. A class 150 unit heads away to the north Wales coast. 11-10-23.
A close-up of the semaphores at the south end of platform 7 at Shrewsbury. The signal remain here today.
Pictured are 31126 and 47311. The 47 was named 'Warrington Yard' on 30-6-88, I would think this was taken soon after that date.
An early morning view looking towards Pilibhit Junction East signal box [90 levers frame] and a selection of the lower quadrant semaphore signals it controls. To the left of the signal box the line from Tanakpur curves in, the line straight ahead is for Mailani Junction and beyond the stock sidings and road crossing, the line south to Shahjahanpur Junction curves away to the right.

66131 passes through Wrawby junction working the 6H77 Immingham to Drax power station loaded biomass hoppers. The shot was taken from a foot crossing on the Brigg line which afforded a different view of the junction looking east towards Barnetby East signal box. Wrawby signal box is out of view on the left. Sadly, only a few more operational months remain for these semaphore signals as a result of the Network Operating Strategy where all signalling in the UK will be controlled from 12 railway operating centres bringing signalling into the 21st century. This will mark the end of an era for this Victorian technology.
With a fine fiery backdrop, 1H10 17:19 London Kings Cross - Hull races past Melton Lane's soon to be replaced semaphores and long-disused halt on 30th August 2017.
Down Semaphore. 2370 gets the green on the outskirts of the Utraitia Jn. At Utraitia Junction, the electric catenary has already been put in place although the energizing of the wires have not been completed.

37414 'CATHAYS C&W WORKS 1846-1993' departs Prestatyn on the North Wales coast, a mid-morning shot, Bangor to Crewe working in September 1996.
Over the years I have taken many photos around here. Most are in the ownership of Martin Loader [Hondawanderer website]. My wife's aunt owned a static caravan at Ffrith so many holidays spent in the area.

68 024 are seen arriving at Great Yarmouth with 2P12 0836 Norwich to Great Yarmouth. 68 004 is on the rear and it will take the train back to Norwich as 2P13 0913 departure.
Headed south on I-35, I got myself into a bit of a "situation" where I NEEDED to find the closest gas station, and not just the most convenient one. Bonus points for those that would allow for easy driving that wouldn't burn that much fuel, haha!
As such, I ended up routing myself towards the small northwestern Missouri town of Winston. Much to my surprise, as I found the gas station (#blessed), was the nicely-restored, and cared-for wooden Rock Island depot in town, although the tracks alongside it were long gone.
Winston was along a line that branched off of the KC-Des Moines mainline at Coburn Jct. (approx. 10 miles SW of Trenton, MO), and ran straight west to St. Joseph, MO, with spurs/further expansions to Atchison, and Topeka, KS. The town doesn't show up in my 1967 Official Guide, but it was between Gallatin and Weatherby as towns that DO rate a mention. As I recall, this was the Rock Island's original mainline into the area before Kansas City became the economic engine that it is, and the railroad had to regroup.
The semaphores at Castleton now gone , the loco would have run from the Corus steel works, now gone.16th June 2003

A bit of a Flickrite convention in Worcester on 4 February 2017 allowed me to meet the very talented (and fairly local) Stuart Hassell, also present were Steve Burdett (another Flickrite) and Stephen Miles (not yet converted). Having resided in the wonderful city during the 1990s my aim for the day (other than meeting Stuart H.) was to grab another shot of this marvellous array of semaphores at the northern end of Shrub Hill station, arguably one of the best in Britain now. Please note that I have not said 'capture (the semaphores) before they are replaced,' as according to Michael Rhodes superb book 'Resignalling Britain' the box here is not expected to close until 2048; it is therefore, more likely that my demise will be before that of the box at Worcester Shrub Hill!
On a sunny 4 February 2017 GWR power-car numbered 43022 leads 1P51, the 12.13 Hereford to London Paddington round from Foregate Street into Shrub Hill.
Of interest, towards the right of the image there is a box on the signal pole (SH77), white at the top and grey below: I have it on good authority (well, Steve Burdett) that this is unique in Britain on a semaphore signal, it is an electronic route indicator, used because the more traditional form of semaphore route indicator would cause sighting problems for drivers.
Clear evidence of the impending demise of the array of semaphore signals at Dhuri Junction can be seen in this view of Ludhiana's WDM-3A 16764 departing with the Shatabdi Express 12037, the 07:00 New Delhi to Ludhiana Junction [NDLS-LDH]. The replacement colour light fitments had been erected close to the existing signals. In addition, excavation work to install the cable trunking for these replacement signals was well in hand and the erection of electrification masts was also in progress at both ends of the station site.
