After 4 months of owning my first camera i thought i owe it to myself to create a pano and so i headed out to Semaphore tonight and gave it a shot. Image quality isn't the sharpest due to vibration from jetty traffic. This image is just a test.

An unusual, pandemic-shortened Southwest Chief is framed by the MP 717 semaphores as it scoots westward on the Raton Subdivision between Colmor and Levy, NM. A couple days later, signal cabinets and concrete bases were dropped at several locations on this portion of the line, including here. Thus, this may in fact be the last shot from this spot "as-is" without a giant shiny silver box directly behind the westbound signal.
This beautiful small fly with a real mouthful of a name is one of two species of long-legged flies (Dolichopodidae) that have turned up in the garden. This species is easy to identify due to its white wing tips that give it its common name of semaphore fly.

Pointing towards a clear night sky, the Santa Fe blades at Wagon Mound stand tall, silent and still. They will remain this way until the passing of next Southwest Chief some 14 hours later.
Arnside signal box was built in 1897 by the Furness Railway, it is a Type 4 design constructed from stone, possibly influenced by the architectural practice of Paley and Austin.
Cool temperatures and rain consisted most of the afternoon weather on July 20, 2015 at Amtrak train No. 4 races east and will split the last semaphore signals on its eastbound trip at Robinson, New Mexico.

Semaphore, located on the Lefevre Peninsula northwest of Adelaide, Australia, is a charming coastal town. Established in 1849, its name originates from a signaling station used to communicate the arrival of ships. The area is renowned for its white sandy beach, historic jetty, and vibrant foreshore lined with cafes, restaurants, and shops. Attractions include the Time Ball Tower, built in 1875, and Art Deco-style buildings. Semaphore also offers recreational activities such as mini golf and carousel rides. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, seeking to enjoy the sun and history in a picturesque setting.
My plan was to photograph the 1902 Norwich to Lowestoft to combine with the setting sun.
The sun was due to set at 1946 and the train was due to arrive at 1949 I had hoped for a golden sky and nature obliged however the sun disappeared behind the rooftops 10 mins before the arrival of the train.....doh.
So here is the shot anyway minus the train. Replacement signals are in place and in a few weeks this beautiful scene will be gone forever.

Sort of looks like she's sending signals with those arms. Sometimes these strike a nice symmetrical pose, and other times they just refuse. I tried to encourage the legs down, but nope. Last year's green crab was more cooperative - I was amused to see I'd taken a very similar photo when I looked through them, so it's just as well she left her arms up because I already got the 'normal' pose.

having bluebirds nesting near the house alerted me to the fact that in addition to vocalizations, birds "talk with their hands". the bluebird was looking at her mate and spreading the wings in a sequence that must mean something to him. they do that more often than all the others species nesting or feeding on our property. at present they are feeding brood two, with five chicks. three survived from brood one and are hanging out together by the mealworm feeder.
In a scene that was repeated twice a day for over 50 years (with a few exceptions), an Amtrak train blasts by the ATSF semaphores protecting the east switch of Chapelle siding in northern New Mexico.
With the loss of freight traffic over Raton and Glorieta Passes, Amtrak is now all there is through here. And that twist was really the secret to the longevity of these nearly century old sentries.
Sadly, the semaphores were removed in November 2022.

313209 departs Bognor Regis wit the 2P77 1236 to Barnham. Despite the red tail lights she was defo running towards me and seconds later the driver activated the headlights and turned the tail lights off. This class of unit was introduced in 1976/77 seeing work firstly on the Great Northern. I think I remember seeing them at Kings Cross. 19 313/2 sets were transferred to Brighton in 2010 for use with Southern Coastway services. These units have lasted a very long time considering they don’t have any onboard toilets.
I really like the mint and ivory livery.
They look at home amongst the semaphores at Bognor.

Semaphores line the signals bridges outside of C&NW's North Western station, but replacements are already installed but not yet in service. October 1988.
Not strictly true, but the pole and bracket were replaced and fitted with the super safe ladders, and now dominate Langham Junction
