The much photographed set of intermediate semaphores at Mile 722, with Wagon Mound Butte in the background.
Went to Semaphore for lunch this after noon which is next to this church~
Hope all of you guys had a great weekend my dear friends!
6233 Duchess of Sutherland heading Vintage Trains "Lickey Banker" approaches the junction at Droitwich Spa passing a Birmingham bound train on 20 November 2021.
Settle Junction still has a fine array of semaphores controlling the junction where the S&C converges with the 'Little' North Western route.
Settle Junction railway station was one of the shorter lived efforts on the railway opening in October 1876 and closing to passengers just over a year later on the 1st November 1877.
66761 heads the 6M25, 0422 Doncaster - Arcow quarry through the junction on it's way north.

I chose the 791 semaphore for my final shot of Amtrak with semaphores on this trip. I couldn't pick just one between these two so you get both.
66007 passes the remaining semaphore signal at Newport's East Usk Yard with an empty MGR. Taken circa 2000. Canon EOS 5, Fuji Superior 200asa.
When I was stationed in Mildenhall, I would travel to Manea to get my British semaphore fix. Manea was the closest station with active semaphores still in everyday mainline use.
Located in the fens of Cambridgeshire, Manea sits on the busy Ely - Peterborough mainline. Almost all intermodal trains bound for the Midlands or the North that originate from the Port of Felixstowe use this line. Rock trains to Middletown, and engineering trains to Whitemoor also frequent this line, not to mention the countless local trains between Cambridge, Norwich, Ely and Peterborough.
On my last visit to Manea before heading back to the US, a Pathfinder Railtour excursion heads south through the semaphore with a pair of DRS Class 37s in the lead.

37425 heads up the grade past the semaphores at Clipstone West Junction with the 1Q08 Derby-Derby via High Marnham, Worksop and Thoresby test train, 23.4.15.
I believe the steam age semaphore signals on the Hope Valley line in Derbyshire are due to be upgraded soon, this prompted a visit to capture them while they are still standing.
66750 passes Grindleford with the 6E51 Peak Forest Cemex Gbrf to Selby (Gb Railfreight).

Amtrak train 4 splits the Santa Fe semaphores in Serafina New Mexico. We ended up shooting 3 new semaphore sets on what is likely our final views of the old signals. The days are finally numbered, with 2021 likely being their swan song (where have we heard that before). This will probably be my shot from the trip that turns out the best, but you cannot be mad seeing semaphores 21 years into the 21st century.
SCT013 and SCT012 lead 5BM9, a SCT Brisbane to Melbourne intermodal 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.

This photo was taken this afternoon at the Adelaide Semaphore Beach, one of the most popular beach in Adelaide~~ But is a bit cold today, therefore not many people around~
Mongolian second railway line Bayantumen - Ereentsav. This 240km's long railway is located in far-east Mongolia and the line is directly connected to the far-eastern part of Russian Railways (Trans-Manchuria railway) and Borzya city. Train traffic is lower but very interesting, twice in a week freight-passenger mixed train and some short freight train runs with an old TEM2 shunter locomotive. The line had been in Soviet time used for mainly transporting uranium from Mardai mines and was considered as a Military strategical secret railway. Now, this railway line is open and normally working since collapsing of the Soviet Union and still uses semaphores and tokens in the signalization system.

(The line between Gilberdyke & Hull was re signalled the following weekend)
If you like railway pictures that are a bit different to the norm, try the Phoenix Railway Photographic circle website;
66187 powers up the hardly used 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. Why the need for three semaphore signals along this short stretch of line I don't know, not that I am complaining!
153306 pauses at Brundall with a Norwich-Lowestoft service. The semaphores are soon to be replaced. 4.5.19.
37275 & 37088 head through Brocklesby, when it still had semaphores with a Santon-Immingham empty iron ore working, 5.9.88.
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.

Or SEMAFLORES? LOL
The name Iris is Greek and it means rainbow for its many colours. However, most irises are shades of blue or purple.
Lately I have seen them white, yellow and mix of yellow and white.
The majority of irises that we see today are hybrids of the originals.
The iris has been around for many centuries, and many artists have chosen to paint them.
There are several famous paintings of the flowers. From 1888 to 1890, Van Gogh painted at least four paintings of irises.
Monet painted "Iris" sometime between 1914 and 1917.
Not only is the iris a beautiful flower, but also they have several uses.
As a live plant they are used as a water purifier.
They are ingredients in some perfumes, homemade toothpaste, pottery and herbal medicines.
The stylised iris, fleur-de-lis, descends from the white iris which is native to Florence, Italy and which grew even in its city walls.
This white iris, displayed against a red background, became the symbol of Florence until the Medici family, to signal a change in political power, reversed the colours making the white one red and setting in motion a centuries-long breeding program to hybridise a red iris.
Catherine de Medici carried this symbol of Florence to Paris when she married the king of France where this most famous of irises acquired its nickname, fleur-de-lis.
The iris has been associated with France as Louis VII adopted it as a symbol in the 12th Century.
In Flowers'-language: Iris means faith; hope; wisdom and valour
I wish you a good day and thank you for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)
