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.

Light just reaches the edge of a white sand dune, making a visual signal akin to a semaphore flag.

AUSTRÀLIA B/N 2023

Semaphore, South Australia.

Its the year 2007 with Amtrak going passed the historic Brighgton Park Jct tower with classic semaphores

Class 40 D345 is seen on the approach to Ramsbottom on the East Lancashire Railway. The stock being also spot on for the loco

The last few months of steam on the Jitong railway saw QJ class locomotives double-heading on the section between Chabuga and Daban. I always liked the semaphore signals at the passing places and particularly those at Gulumanhan, where a heavy westbound train is seen here entering the loops.

British semaphore distant signal still used in places i.e cornwall.

In the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago – Old semaphore signals were still governing train movements through this busy railroad crossing at the time of this November 1990 photo. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©

Passing the site of the old Goods yard the short set departs Acle and onto the single line towards Brundall. 37425 is on the rear.

Harrogate Signalbox and Semaphores.The box is an LNER type built in 1947 with a Mck&H 45 lever frame.

This past week ended up being CBNS themed, both past and present. It seems only fitting to close it out with another take from the chase of 302 in 2014. With the exception of a handful of locations, the majority of the track east of St. Peter's Junction was a crisp 10 MPH, which made chasing extremely easy. Here, eastbound 302 eases past the station, semaphore, and assortment of old CN equipment at Orangedale just after noon on August 13, 2014.

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!

Expecting Bulleid Pacific No 35018 I was somewhat disappointed when a couple of Duffs appeared on the SSE!

Downloaded and edited on my ☎️. The Ricoh app is very good, probably the best I have used. Although the editing is not great with the basic apple editing software it does lend itself to true street photography without adding or deleting like you can with normal editing.

A westbound Erie Lackawanna train with a U25B and GP35 pass the semaphores as it nears State line Tower on the last Sunday before Conrail. Hammond IN. March 1976.

10/2020 - Las Vegas, NM

Here's a second frame from the semaphore signals just outside of Las Vegas. Can't have too many frames.

Looking up the coast toward Largs Bay. The prominent white building is the Palais Hotel. Sempahore, South Australia.

Semaphore. Semaphore is a suburb in the Australian state of South Australia located in north-west of Adelaide on the Gulf St Vincent coastline of the LeFevre Peninsula about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) from the Adelaide city centre.

A male semaphore fly on the garden patio. My wife had washed off a few pigeon deposits leaving about a dozen small pools of water. Within minutes each of these had been claimed by a male fly who started displaying. Females flitted from pool to pool and if impressed mated with the male. This was a half-second coupled flight that needed faster reactions than mine to photograph.

 

This has to be one of the most spectacularly coloured flies. I just hope I never have to try and pronounce its scientific name!!

150234 rolls into the southern bay at Truro with 2T84 from Falmouth Docks

8255 leads 2233, a Maldon Cement Works to Berrima Cement Works Pacific National Mineral train.

 

The semaphore signal visible is one of three semaphores remaining at Mittagong. The signal was used to authorise down trains into the now removed up refuge.

 

The disused brick platform visible on the left was the dock platform.
