It's now over a year since I ventured out before dawn on 23rd November 2018 to capture the final day of manual signalling in my local area.
1A12 07:00 Hull - London King's Cross rides the switchback past Gilberdyke's semaphores as it reaches the end of the manually-controlled segment from Melton Lane. The new order can be seen lying in wait on the left.
66563 eases into Barnetby's reception sidings with an empty coal working to join stablemate, 66620, whilst the soon to be axed BE70 semaphores provide a frame.

A new CP Gevo leads potash train Z493 past the semaphores near Saltillo, Indiana on a Spring morning in 2007.
Very much part of the scene on the Wigan - Southport line are the class 150 DMU's now approaching the veteran stage. Northern 150129 gets away from the Parbold stop with the all stations 09.31 Southport - Stalybridge service.
* Parbold still has semaphores and a manual crossing at Chapel Lane but this is due to go later this year.
The signalbox at the station has recently been repainted and looks pristine.
While you might imagine it says :Clear off nosey photographers!" I think it was an effort to get rid of blow flies that enjoy sitting on sun warm fur. Sea lion numbers are increasing on our remote beaches after a huge decline from hunting 150 years ago.
I'm afraid I have forgotten my Boy Scout semaphore so please use English to comment!
Looking back through my photo archives, it seems this is the only other of this species that I've found, and this one right in my own back yard. Even without a female around, he was practicing his moves, right there on my photography table.
I'm posting this guy to better show what the one in today's video looked like. He was posted here before in a montage, but it was four years ago.

In the smoky dusk, a train heads westwards out of Attock Station under an impressive display of semaphore signals.

GWR Class 800 No.800024 departs Moreton-in-Marsh amidst a variety of semaphore signals with 1P34, 15:16 Worcester Foregate St - Oxford. The sun had only just come out for this shot, after an hour or so of heavy rain in the Cotswolds.
After two days of sunshine, the weather on my 3rd day in southern Thailand went downhill as did my luck.
My plan was to spend the day around Khao Chum Thong Junction which is still fully manual semaphore signalled.
Due to the weather and extreme late running of some trains I basically had managed to get no decent photos all day. I had hoped atleast I could shoot the delayed 448 local with the semaphores from the north end of the station. Despite numerous sun pockets, once again thwarted by the clouds. Just after completing my walk of failure back to the station platform the exit signal clanked back up to "Hp1" or clear. A freight?!
Indeed soon a headlight rounded the corner, and at the same time a gap in the clouds opened as well. The train was moving quickly and I hoped it would be fast enough to outrun the cloud. With token snagged the driver of train 790 (Hat Yai - Ban Thung Pho Jct) notches out the 2400 HP Alstom diesel and puts the train in the wind.
No matter how mature of a rail fan you like to think you are, there are moments where you can’t help but throw your arms in the air after the locomotive passes in celebration. This was definitely one of them!
6Z32, the 09:37 Greenburn-Ferrybridge p.s. loaded FHH coal hoppers of 20 March 2009, headed by 66612 is brought to a stand at Settle Junction's up main home signal, in deference to a passenger train from the "Little North Western".
After reporting his presence to the signaller, the driver climbs back on board.
The telephoto lens emphasises the heat haze from the engine as 60026 accelerates away from Wrawby Junction with 6E32 08:55 Preston Dock to Lindsey bitumen empties. 25/11/2015.
Just a handful of photographers remain after the sun has set, as DB Schenker 66083 heads the 6D35 15:37 West Burton power station to Lindsey empty bogie tankers through Barnetby station at 16:19 on 23rd December 2015. The signal boxes were closed two days later and all mechanical signalling was removed over the Christmas and New Year holiday period.

Signal 850 is the westernmost semaphore along Amtrak's Southwest Chief route. Between milepost 706 and 850, semaphores are still abundant as one of the primary signals protecting train movements.
A pair of NYSW SD45's still in BN green lead the Westbound D&H Sealand stack train at the semaphore that stood at the grade crossing in Rathbone, NY on June 21, 1986.
It's a fine September afternoon on the CSX's Altenheim Subdivision in Chicago, as we approach signal 59-E which is displaying an approach indication for our eastbound ore train.
We will be looking for a stop indication up and around the tight curve at Roosevelt Road.

These signalling platforms were a nautical version of railway semaphore signals and were used to communicate with steamships entering the port of Cardiff during the late 19th century.
Same photo as www.flickr.com/photos/macmanluke/1231965034/ but i used Photomatix to produce a HDR image from bracketed exposures.
Looking north along the Union Pacific at Watertown, Wisconsin where this distant semaphore signal for the UP-CP diamond stands. This signal has been on my list of photo targets for a while. It was fun to find!

Harrogate Signalbox and Semaphores.The box is an LNER type built in 1947 with a Mck&H 45 lever frame.
43162 & 43097 work 2C77 Cardiff Central - Penzance pass the semaphores into St Erth station. Both the signals and the short formed 'Castle' set HST's are due to disappear in the near future, marking the end of two eras in the west country. 01 July 2023.

66187 powers up the Ogmore Vale extension line en route to Tondu Junction on the 6O32 Margam to Llanwern sidings, seen amongst the surviving semaphore signals at Tondu. The train will run round the Garw loop and then head south on the Maesteg line to Bridgend to join the main South Wales line.
Freight workings at Tondu are rarely seen but on occasions freight is diverted via Tondu when engineering work is carried out on the main South Wales line between Bridgend and Margam. Given my penchant for semaphores and signal boxes I was delighted to capture this working.

White Sands National Monument, New Mexico
Light just reaches the edge of a white sand dune, making a visual signal akin to a semaphore flag.

Semaphore & Scotsman
Following an intermediate overhaul, 60103 ‘Flying Scotsman’ emerged from hibernation today on a test run around the Carnforth circuit. Seen here departing the Up Loop at a drizzly Hellifield Station...
