Heloecius cordiformis is a species of semiterrestrial crab found in mangrove swamps and mudflats along the east coast of Australia. Adults are around 25 mm (1 in) wide, with males being larger and having larger and more conspicuously coloured claws. The males wave their claws to communicate with other crabs, giving them their common name of semaphore crab. They can breathe both in air and under water, and feed at low tide on detritus in the sediment. H. cordiformis is the only species in the genus Heloecius and the family Heloeciidae.
At the South end of Loughborough station are these superb semaphores. With British railways standard five facing North the scene is complete.

Semaphore signals used both the position of the arm, as well as a light shining through the colored lenses, to tell oncoming trains whether it was safe to pass. Most of them have been removed from mainline service in the States. This one's on display in front of the Wasco town hall, which used to be the rail depot. I do not know if it is functional any more.

Ein Semaphore ist ein altes Seezeichen welches den vorbei fahrenden Schiffen Informationen über die Windstärke und Richtung eines weiter wegliegenden Ortes gaben.
Hier in Cuxhaven steht noch ein solcher Semaphor der die Windrichtung und -stärke für die Inseln Helgoland und Borkum anzeigte.

Harrogate station, northbound, and an unusual remnant of the older, upper quadrant semaphore signals on the public railways.
Upper quadrant signals move 'up' for 'pass' (lower quadrant move down for 'pass' and are considered to be less safe since a mechanical failure could lead to a train being given a 'pass' when it was meant to stop!

A trio of BR era semaphores at Abergele and Pensarn, the 'off' signal controls the up line to the next box at Rhyl, the two signals with their backs to us control the down main past Abergele and Pensarn station (left) and the down platform loop. These semaphores may yet be with us for some time, the LNWR boxes at Holywell Jct, Prestatyn, Rhyl no1, Abergele and Pensarn, Deganwy, Llandudno Town, Llanrwst North and Holyhead have all recently been refurbished by Network Rail to a pretty high standard. 28 November 2009.
