These are the three semaphores at the west siding switch at Levy, New Mexico. The Raton Line is BNSF, historic AT&SF track and presently used by the Southwest Chief, Amtrak Trains 3 and 4. This sequence shows signals responding to the approach of westbound number 3, the train passing through the signals and then the signals clearing. The semaphore protecting the west end of the siding is always in stop position.
Number 3 is about to exit the frame. The rear of the train has not yet cleared the track circuits to activate the eastbound blade.

This mighty semaphores still stands. Though its working life is over, it has retired at stop, reminding us of its safe working role and the glory days of the NSWGR.
Quite and disused. the signal stands in the Riverina. It no longer witnesses its great companions the 48s, the 600 rail motors, the 44s and a 421 which graced its presence momentarily as staff working dictated on their from the original and then final terminus of this branch opened in 1882. And if sentinal it could probably recall the 34s, occasional 32s and standard goods locomotives that past rail that have staid in situ since opening of the line.
