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

Gulgong once a station on the branch line from Wallerawang to Gwabegar via Mudgee, Dunedoo, Merrygoen, Binnaway and Coonabarabran. The semaphore signal visible above NR30 was once at the entrance to Gulgong yard from the Mudgee Line. The line this train will take was completed to Gulgong in 1985, an extension of the coal line from Sandy Hollow to Ulan, completed in 1982.

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.

Running vice HST, 37610 and 37402 depart Worcester Shrub Hill with 1Q23 06:45 Bristol Kingsland Road to Derby R.T.C. Thursday 20th February 2025.

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...

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

This one is marked "Patented July 21 1903"

47522 passes through Lostwithiel with the Penzance - Tavistock tanks.

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.

Such lovely little creatures with such a range of colour in their eyes.

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.

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!!

Just about everything that moved was shot, including a track machine.

66622 is seen here on an Immingham-Rugeley coal working, 23.12.15.
