The distant signal for East Cuba had already been a non-searchlight for some time, but on this trip I noted that a 2nd head has been added for the westbound aspect - allowing for additional aspects can be displayed and also is a sure sign that the Searchlights at East Cuba have been replaced.

This is Cark station possibly in 1952. By the stance of the chap on the platform the train is arriving and is stopping short of where he thought it would. Cark looks a lovely little country station with good buildings which have a glazed canopy, a substantial goods shed in the goods yard and a fine signal box.
42402 was built at Derby Works, it was a Fowler 2-6-4T and it entered traffic as 2402 on 20/09/1933. The loco was withdrawn 13/10/1962 and scrapped 11/03/1963. At the time of Peter's picture it was an 11B Barrow-in-Furness allocated machine

This small and old company only has 6.4km railway in the countryside and that's enough for me to be crazy about these attractive trains, views and the atmosphere.
Having crossed over the Illinois River and passed the one-time crew change point at Chillicothe without stopping, a Willow Springs, IL to North Bay, California trailer train rolls through the "S" curve at the west end of Chillicothe Yard and past the signal bridges at the West Chillicothe control point.
Just a few hundred yards west of this point, the five engines will begin to pull their train of trailers for the San Francisco-Oakland area up the 1.1% grade up Edelstein hill and out of the Illinois River valley.
This train was symboled as the Z WSPNBY9 21L.
So I took this picture during the evening rush hour on Friday after the TTC had signal trouble yet again. Even though they kept repeating that there was no service, the trains weren't going anywhere and shuttle buses were upstairs, people still kept coming downstairs and waiting inside the trains. To fix this, they turned off all the lights and closed the doors on both trains.
Anyways, the TTC is in need of some serious funding because it's only going to get worse before it gets better.
68028 coasts past the fine array of semaphore signals at Great Yarmouth on 21st August 2017. 2017 was a great time for photographers along the Wherry Lines, with the fine selection of semaphore signals in use and two loco hauled sets working diagrams for Greater Anglia.
The Griswold Signal Company manufactured these types of "rotating banner" signals, beginning in 1927. When the crossing signal was activated, a rotating stop sign would turn to face the motorist/pedestrian/bicyclist. These signals were common in Minnesota, but could be found elsewhere. This one greets visitors at the Minnesota Transportation Museum.
According to Wikipedia, "As of November 2016, there are only half a dozen known Griswold signals still in service along active rail, all in Minnesota, none with rotating stop sign signals. The last pair with an operating banner protected 22nd Ave NE in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Griswolds in Tacoma, Washington and San Jose, California were both removed circa 2010.".
Out in the country on the edge of a small town, this little one lane bridge allows trains to run underneath. If you're on one side, you cannot see the cars on the other side so the signal is very necessary.
Volunteer signaller Mandy at the levers in the signal box at Arley station during Severn Valley Railway’s Step Back to the 1940s event on 8 June 2025.
The current signal box was reconstructed from 1974 to 1976 approximately on the site of the original signal box. The frame, which has 30 levers, is originally from Kidderminster Station.

Lowdham Signal Box on the Nottingham – Lincoln line, 7th June 2008. The box was built by the Midland Railway and opened in 1896. It is a standard Midland Railway type 2b signal box and is fitted with a 16 lever frame. It closed on the 1st October 2016 and control of the area was transferred to the East Midlands Control Centre at Derby.
From what I recall, this signal box, which has since been demolished, was in West Hartlepool; to the east of Hartlepool station.
The photograph would be taken from the point of the level crossing at the end of Church Street and the start of Mainsforth Terrace.
The lines curving round to the right are the current lines running down the Durham coast to Seaton Carew and beyond.
West Hartlepool locomotive depot was about half a mile further down this line, towards Seaton Carew. The area of the depot, which was to the north of the road bridge on the A178 and the start of Coronation Drive, still remains undeveloped.

UP dispatcher 12 has lined an eastward move following a manifest train on the former Chicago & North Western main line at Nachusa, IL. These searchlight signals date to the early Fifties CTC project on this busy part of the "Overland Route", but are destined for replacement within the next year.
