On the foreshore at the end of a hot 45C day in Adelaide. Taken from near the time ball tower at an old restaurant. I'd like to try a different spot to improve composition and reduce the obstacles / clutter.
A brand new Hitachi train passes the old semaphore signals that still control the lines out of Worcester Foregate Street. I do wonder what the Japanese might make of this.

Also signaling officers on the battlefields used semaphore signals to communicate important information during combat.

This artwork started my fascination with the Woodhead line when I was about 4 years in 1966. I only got to see the line near the end when I made several visits up from Bristol in 1980 and 1981. My two sons are equally struck by this picture and I've taken them to this very site back in 2012 at the mouth of Woodhead tunnel(sprog 2 was only 4 at the time -long day for him). The Woodhead route had everything: Heavy industry, coal, spectacular mountain scenery, unique traction, non standard electrification, colour light and semaphore signalling, signal boxes, attractive country stations, express passenger and freight. All the reasons why I keep visiting the north to this day, although recently it's been about recording the demise of the coal industry.
