A photo (and signal box) that I'd completely forgotten about. A pity I have no other shots of this key box on the approach to Inverness station. The box can be seen ahead of the loco.

10/2020 - Wagon Mound, NM
Here we are! The #1 reason New Mexico was high on my list of places to visit was the semaphore signals still in use on the Raton and Glorieta Subs. As I work my way east toward Springer to set up for Train 3, I found this pair and took a shot.
Adelaida, AUSTRÀLIA 2023
Semaphore Beach is a coastal gem in Adelaide, known for its relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. With its wide, white sands and calm waters, it's an ideal destination for swimming and relaxation. The historic Semaphore Jetty stretches 585 meters into the sea, a popular spot for fishing, strolling, and enjoying panoramic views. The foreshore, an expansive two-kilometer public space, is a hub of fun with a vintage carousel, a steam train that puffs along the shoreline in summer, and other rides. The main street, Semaphore Road, is lined with shops, cafes, and pubs, blending old-world charm with modern boutiques. It's a place where maritime history and leisure come together.

The semaphore signals are to be removed with the final full day of operation being on the 26th February 2024. The station won't be the same without the lovely clanking sound of their operation.
A semaphore signal stands forlorn and forgotten on 1 June 2021. Located on the northern end of Howe & Co’s Siding, it once had two arms for controlling shunting movements from the headshunt (I’m assuming) to the private sidings or the B.R. down & up goods line. The wires to pull them are severed and the structure awaits its demise while nature quietly engulfs the track that it once controlled. When I returned here a year later the signal had gone.

A gorgeous New Mexico sunset provides a colorful backdrop for 100+ year old Santa Fe Semaphore signals.
The sun sets behind the down Brandon semaphores No.14 and 20 and telegraph posts on 2nd September 1982. The signals are soon to be removed when Brandon signalbox, opened in 1931, closes during the summer of 2012 under the Norwich - Ely re-signalling project. This will see all the signal boxes between Norwich - Ely abolished and the line controlled from a VDU in Cambridge SCC. Semaphores, along with telegraph wires and posts, once part of an everyday scene, are a rare combination now.
