Semaphore Beach, located in Adelaide, Australia, is a popular beach known for its relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. With its long stretch of white sand and calm waters, it's perfect for swimming, picnicking, and enjoying outdoor activities. The foreshore features a variety of cafes, restaurants, and shops, along with attractions like a historic carousel and a mini golf course. The iconic Semaphore Jetty is ideal for walking or fishing while taking in the sunset. The beach also hosts annual events such as music festivals and markets. Its mix of leisure and natural beauty makes it a favorite destination for locals and tourists alike.

Northern Trains class 158 no. 158855 enters Scarborough past Falsgrave Road signal box on 30 July 2010, under the now removed signal gantry, with a service from Sheffield via Hull and Bridlington. The gantry was utilised by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway at Grosmont.
The semaphores at the west end of Levy have a clear signal displayed for the eastbound Southwest Chief.
A scene that has been repeated thousands of times over the 35 years that the CDA wagons have been employed on china clay duties to and from the docks at Fowey.
Introduced in early 1988, the CDAs replaced the wooden-bodied, vacuum-braked clay hoods on these local trips. In August 2023 it is the CDAs' turn to be replaced, with the bogie JIA wagons that have until now (with the excpetion of a recent trial working to Fowey) been used on longer distance clay traffic to the potteries.
Here 66165 leaves the sidings that serve Rocks dryers with the early running 13.02 departure for the docks.

Prior to meeting up with the 1Z10 gang on 25 October 2018, I paid a visit to nearby Gilberdyke to try and get some shots of the last days of the area’s semaphore signals. This is Bellasize UWC on the Hull lines (looking in the up direction towards Selby) with a mixture of semaphores and both old and replacement colour lights. The gates are normally closed to road traffic.
This is what it's all about! The last of their kind in the US are the ATSF semaphores in northern New Mexico, installed in the 1920s. Though fewer in number, many are still there. This set is just south of Colmor siding. You better hurry if you are going to make it to Wagon Mound!
On the way back from a week of business (and a few train rides) in Colorado, it was imperative that some Raton Sub shots happen. Here's 3 splitting the blades at 706, just south of Springer.
With the sun rapidly setting 150203 rolls away from Blackpool North with an unidentified service amid a sea of semaphores and GEC Osram Z8260's.
Heading away from Wrawby Junction on 25th November 2015 is DB class 66/0 no. 66112 with the 10.10 Milford West Sidings to Immingham biomass hoppers.
If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
For my wonderful friend Schizocheese. ♥ This is Auri trying out her SD16 body while her Megu is still away for faceup. Oh man, I really like the new SD16G body.
Please view on black!

The 'road' is set on the semaphore gantry at Newton Abbot as 45150 heads towards the magnificent east box with the 13.45 Penzance - Bristol TM on the 16th April 1983. Some peak enthusiasts in the front mark 1 coach show their enthusiasm for the class. Definitely Kev McCarthy gesticulating his approval of the thrash.
47443 "North Eastern" is seen near Dobcross with 1E28 10:48 Liverpool Lime Street to Newcastle. 12/6/88. I wish that semaphore was still there!
The Semaphore indicates the direction and the strength of the wind on the North Sea Islands of Borkum and Helgoland.
Thursday night, I got out after dinner and finally got some shots of the semaphore outside of Santa Fe's Welda, KS depot... in Topeka.
Welda's depot is located adjacent to the UP "Great Overland Station" after having been moved to the grounds in 2011. The depot, built in 1887, was part of the Eastern Division, Third District, about 30 miles south of Ottawa.

The Semaphore Time Ball was built adjacent the Signal Station.
In 1875 the Time Ball was raised for the first time. Daily at 12.57pm a signalman raised the ball which dropped at 1pm. Ships off the coast sighted the dropping ball and re-set their ship’s clocks or chronometers.
The semaphore blade is dropping as C&NW suburban train No. 311 heads west on track No. 1 approaching the Peterson Avenue overpass, in December 1982.
46521 passes the fine array of semaphores on the approach to Loughborough station with the 11.15 service to Leicester, 10.1.15.
Took this photo because of the old Alco switcher. I now appreciate it for the semaphore, just as much, if not more.
153324 (Northern's 0907 Sellafield - Lancaster) approaches Barrow-in-Furness station on 13 January 2012.
The scene is viewed from the station’s bay platform (platform three) that is mainly used by trains starting from Barrow for Millom and beyond as far as Carlisle or those from the north terminating here.
BARROW-IN-FURNESS signal box is on the left of the picture with the bay platform down starting signal prominent in front of it. The down section signal (towards Park South) is seen to the left of the 153 unit with the up home junction signal to its right. The left hand signal is off for the route through platform two with the right hand arms for trains into the bay. Each of the standard arms has a calling on arm below it.
Starting signal at Merrygoen, New South Wales, a junction for trains working between Newcastle and western areas of the state. Late on the evening of Monday 28th December 2015, BRM002 leading SSR’s 4877 empty grain train to Nyngan prepares to depart. The signal and its associated electric staff safeworking system have since been replaced.
