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.

GB Railfreight Class 60, 60021 "Pen-Y-Ghent" rounds the curve past Plumley West Signal Box as it roars west with the loaded 6E09 07:30 Liverpool Biomass Terminal to Drax Power Station.
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.
Broadford's semapore signal post 17 captured at proceed.
After over 130 years of operation, post 17 and four others were abolished as of the fourth of February 2019.

Can you read their signs? LOL
These Iris buds were the first to timidly unfurl a few petals. Tentatively, like a flag in the wind, sign language, semaphores!
Iris are often called Flags in North-America.
have a good day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

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.

66767 accelerates past Melton Lane's soon-to-be-replaced up semaphores with 6D72 11:32 Hull Dairycoates - Rylstone empties on 30th January 2018.
One of the replacement signals has been erected on the right-hand side and the other lies in the six foot between the up main and relief lines.
With only four and a half months to go before resignalling finally takes place (nearly a year late), Lowestoft's semaphore signals are silhouetted against the sky just after sunset.
47225 waits at Stirling station which still has it's lattice-post semaphore signals, signalbox and gas lamp holders on 9th June 1983.

Its a beautiful afternoon with temperatures in the high's 90's and were in the beautiful south of Las Vegas N.M on the Gloriteta sub division at Chapelle N.M on my first day out west and Amtrak's on time today passing through the classic semaphores dating back to the 20's .now it time for a cold one !
with temperatures in the high 90's its time for a few beers' while waiting for South west Chief # 3 on my 3d day . A siding 8 miles south-east of downtown Las Vegas N.M is Ojita with three sets of semaphores at each end ..In the 5 days i spent down there i was able to capture most of all 57 sets of blades and drink four cases of beer
Blythe Physical Challenge - BPC # 136 - Who's calling, please?
The Kozy twins communicate by semaphore as part of their Brownie training.
Rudi: Give us a K! Give us an O!
Daphne: Give us a Z! Give us a Y!
And what have you got?
East bound Chief is coming out of grade from Shoemaker Canyon and is passing through Colmor N.M with semaphores built in the early 20's
These cars were the last to leave for their run. Notice they both have semaphore indicators; the illuminated mechanical arms which seldom seemed to stay working for long and were generally replaced by conventional flashing lights.
150254 departs with 158829 on the 11.48 Holyhead - Birmingham International. What a joy this station and its semaphores is. Just above the DMUs the junction signal SBJ11 on the up main platform 7 is an absolute gem. The Great Western signal arms are unusually pivoted at their centres and made of hardwood. On the left of the picture is SBJ5 the up main home for Severn Bridge Junction.
For a really informative and interesting look at every aspect of Shrewsbury's signalling I would thoroughly recommend looking at Adrian The Rock's website - www.roscalen.com/signals/Shrewsbury/index.htm
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.

Perhaps the most solicited and anticipated sight for Diesel Lovers -# "" beautifully curves out of Dhuri Junction and then frames itself for me between the Semaphore Jungle (which has now vanished due to Electrification) and departs towards Ludhiana hauling 16687 Navyug Express.
