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.
601263 'Tornado' rolls down the grade into Worcester Shrub Hill station heading a 'Cathedrals Express' charter from Tonbridge on 19 March 2013.

14.6.2015. This section of the GCR, with its fine array of lower quadrant semaphores must rank right up there in the world of railway preservation.
LMS Stanier Class 5MT 4-6-0 No 44814 (aka 45305) approaches the box with the 09.15 off Loughborough.
Taken at the GCR's Woodford Halse w/end.
It’s rare to see gantries surviving on the network with semaphores so I was pleased to capture this shot at Hellifield Station. In this scene, a Northern Rail Class 158 “Express Passenger DMU” passes Hellifield signal box on the 1E23 Carlisle to Leeds service.
But no chimney on the loco which was the Birmingham Class 104 2-car Railcar (50454/50528) set. The early and late 2020 programme sees a bit of a change with less steam - 2 instead of 3 steam journeys on steam days and DMU's midweek. "Normal" service is resumed once we get to Easter and on thorough to September with more than enough steam and diesel and events to make a trip on the train worthwhile.
170471 departs from Stirling with the 1541 Alloa to Glasgow Queen Street service.
The triple bracket up starter signal is of Caledonian Railway origin and was removed when Stirling was resignalled in 2013.
1 am at Semaphore hiding under the Jetty. We saw the cold front roll in. The temp went from 28C to 22C in a few minutes and the rain came down hard.

Three covered wagons head west on the Geneva sub division passing under the classic semaphores in 1989
Frisco 1630 takes the coach train out of the IRM grounds and passes a set of semaphores over a rural crossing during IRM's 2022 Showcase Weekend.
Screwin' around near home here's the local display at Campbell Hall NY along the former Erie RR Montgomery Branch
The wonderful signal gantry at the end of the up platform at Redhill station on 15th June 1983 with a 4-VEP unit No.7812 forming a stopping London Victoria to Brighton service. The Coulsdon to Earlswood section via Redhill was the last bastion of semaphore signalling on the Brighton main line, with two boxes situated at Redhill, one visible in this view.

My last photograph of semaphore signals at Truro as the Cornish re-signalling gets seriously underway from 27 February 2024. Photographed from the end of the Falmouth branch platform (and I am just about 'behind the yellow line') Castle power car number 43187 'Cardiff Castle' leads 2P16, the 13.15 Penzance to Plymouth as it arrives at Truro on 20 February 2024, 43098 'Walton Castle' is out of sight at the rear.
This picture, taken from the western side of the railway at Corkickle (opposite No.1 box) looking north, shows the variety and complexity of signalling there in 1984. The sidings curving away to the left (above the pigeon loft) serve the cable worked incline to Marchon Chemicals, known locally as “The Brake”. It can be seen that the Brake sidings also have their own semaphore signals.
Kirkconnel’s down home signal is off for the passage of 1L78, Scotrail’s 0957 Carlisle - Glasgow, formed by 156430. This signal - supplied with sighting board, ladder guard and fall protection - replaced a taller version in 2019.
The siding here had been a loop In days past and that previous signal had a bracket to serve it.
KJM's 20033 with its awesome horns makes a grand entry into TKE as it glows along with the semaphore signals in the early morning sunlight.
This, as far as I know, is the only semaphore signalled stretch left in Karnataka.

Two examples of railway past still existing at Droitwich Spa station. Castle No 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe passes the marvellous array of lower quadrant Semaphores with "The Cotswold Explorer" from Tyseley to Oxford and return on Sat 8th Oct 2016.
Another location I was very keen to visit on 14 October 2024 was this one, Bromfield. 197045 leads 1V39, the 10.30 Manchester Piccadilly to Cardiff Central.
The southern end of Stirling station is still bristling with semaphore signalling, controlled from Sirling Middle signalbox. In this view on 6th February 2013, Scotrail 170393 is leaving forming the 10:53 service to Glasgow Queen Street as 170460 rounds the corner forming a Glasgow Queen Street to Dunblane service. Opening on 4th August 1901, Stirling Middle was one of three large boxes that controlled the large station and the surrounding junctions. Two of these are still in use today, although the layout has, of course, been drastically reduced over the years. The Grade 'A'-listed box is of the Caledonian Railway's Northern Division 1889 design.

Because you can never take just one. Because I'm behind in processing but couldn't stand looking at me on the front of my stream, because I like BW sunsets, because trees can talk to each other. Really. They can.
OK, the last part isn't really true. Well maybe.
The magnificent semaphores at Worcester Shrub Hill will, we are led to believe, remain in situ for a number of years yet, but it is difficult ot get a decent shot of a train at this location without signal posts and other clutter growing out of the top of the train (one of my pet hates). On 17 April 2000, Centro liveried Class 150 numbered 150102 has reversed direction whilst working the 09.43 Birmingham New Street to Hereford.
Took this photo because of the old Alco switcher. I now appreciate it for the semaphore, just as much, if not more.
44871 and 45407 head away from Helsby , which unusual for a local station still has semaphores and sidings--although nature seems to be reclaiming the latter
South bound Milwaukee Rd train passes under the classic CNW semaphores at Rand in Des Plaines IL Feb 1982
