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!
47 305 rounds the curve into Newton Abbot and its fine array of semaphores with 1M60, the 13:10 Plymouth - Manchester
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...

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.
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.
9.2.2019. Another highlight for me, but barely a year ago, was to see 'Bahamas' on its return to the mainline.
After a lengthly overhaul the Bahamas Locomotive Society and the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway organised a run over the S&C from Keighley.
Here we see LMS Stanier Class 6P (Jubilee) 4-6-0 No 45596 'Bahamas' pulling away from Appleby after a water stop.
156501 and 156506 draw into New Cumnock station with the 1L83 0913 Glasgow Central to Carlisle service. The station was opened by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway in 1850.
It closed under British Railways in 1965 but reopened in 1991. Some original features still survive including a fine smattering of semaphores and a station building and signal box. The sidings behind the platform on the right of the shot are a legacy of the once busy coal traffic generated by the Ayrshire coalfield.

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 ©
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.
Just about everything that moved was shot, including a track machine.
66622 is seen here on an Immingham-Rugeley coal working, 23.12.15.
