HDR view inside the signal box at Hartington in Derbyshire. The signal box is now a visitors centre on the Tissington Trail through the Peak District. Restored to look like a working 'old style' railway signal box - everything's there apart from the trains these days....

Signal PR52 at Par Station, soon to be removed. Showing some signs of weathering, though last time it had some work stainless steel nuts and bolts seem to have been used, a good choice.

The impressive signal box at Canterbury West that spans the running lines is the feature of the station. Competing for attention on 14th March 2009 is the National Railway Museum's 'Britannia' No. 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' and 'Electrostar' Class 375 EMU No. 375624. The former had just arrived with The Railway Touring Company's 'Golden Arrow' charter that had earlier visited the Folkestone harbour branch, and now forms 1Z84, 1309 ex-Folkestone Harbour. Meanwhile the Class 375 is about to call at the station with a service to London. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
This signal gave eastbound trains an approach indication for the home signal at Hudson, Ohio, on the former Akron Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It has been dark since Conrail ceased using the line years ago and Akron Metro bought it to railbank it.

Crawling up to the crossing, IC 1031 gains an extra splash of color on the nose, courtesy of the block signals at Church Road. Not only was it a lovely summer evening but Byron Hill is a great place for the last chase of the day. It's easy to get ahead of the train without driving another 50 miles and the blue hour action can be recorded without motion blur, if you're so inclined. July 20, 2024.
Ouessant, le Pont-Aven sort du Fromveur salué d'un nuage de fumée par l'Abeille-Bourbon en veille météo dans la baie du Stiff.
Car-ferry Pont-Aven greeted by a cloud of smoke from salvage tugboat Abeille-Bourbon on the watch close to Ushant shipping lanes, an area with both heavy traffic and hazardous weather conditions..
Night falls over Banbury South. The lights are on in the signal box and the lower quadrant signals remain in place, but for how much longer? An additional semaphore, visible on the far right was installed recently to give the platforms more flexibility. A Freightliner is halted in the lay-bye.
Techy stuff: Taken during that wonderful time between dusk and night when the sky turns royal blue. Train load behind 66522 is concrete sleepers, Washwood Heath - Taunton Fairwater Yard service.

When the interlocking signal is pulled into the clear position the distant signal changes from yellow to green. When the interlocking signal is at stop, the distant signal shows "proceed, prepared to stop"
Signal Mountain, as seen from Oxbow Bend on the Snake River, on a extremely cloudy and rainy October morning. The elevation of the mountain is 7,720 feet (2,350 meters) and is about 1,100 (335 meters) above the river. There is a road and hiking trails to the summit with spectacular views along the way.
Even on days like this, there is no better place to be than the Jackson Hole Valley.

Frodsham Junction signal box located between the Down Main of the Warrington to Chester line and Up Liverpool via Halton Jct line on a fine September 8th 1986.
London & North Western Railway Company Type 5 design built for the London and North Western & Great Western Joint Railways in 1912 and fitted with a 32 lever frame.
The signal box carried a London Midland & Scottish Railway Company post-1935 design nameboard, and the top part of the roof finial had been removed.
For the longest of times, infrastructure on the Bendigo line remained relatively unchanged. Stations closed, but their platforms and buildings remained; colour light signalling was introduced on the rest of the network, but here semaphore signalling reigned supreme.
That all changed in the early 2000s, when the Regional Fast Rail project was under way. Almost the entire line was rehabilitated: trackbeds razed and rebuilt, facilitating 160kph running; semaphores were ripped down or otherwise decommissioned, being replaced with bi-directional colour light signalling; and in the biggest change, between Kyneton and Bendigo one of the double tracks was removed, allowing improved clearance and relaxed curves around some heritage listed bridges, and Elphinstone Tunnel.
Demonstrating the still relatively new changes, R711 and K153 pass under one of the bi-directional signal gantries at the former station of Carlsruhe, now a well manicured private residence. This train was bound for Castlemaine, to deposit K153 and the leading three carriages at the Victorian Goldfields Railway over the summer period.
On 9th May 2018 Freightliner Class 86/6 Nos. 86628 & 86608 round the long curve at Bishton, on the approach to Colwich Junction, with 4M87 1113 Felixstowe North - Trafford Park. Overtaking, slowly, is a Virgin Trains West Coast Class 390 'Pendolino' forming 1H36 1620 London Euston - Manchester Piccadilly. Both are running under clear signals, and 'who will buy the beer' in this tortoise and hare situation is unclear, as the 'Cans' are running at their normal speed at this point, while the 'Pendo' is having to slow for the approaching junction, as it will diverge off the Trent Valley and onto the ex-North Staffordshire Railway route to Stone and Stoke on Trent.

There are so many different meanings with them and they come in all shapes and sizes.
This one is a lunar colored or restricted signal I think? Restricted as in run your train no faster than it can stop in half the distance of vision?
I'll never figure them all out....

Starting signal at Merrygoen, New South Wales, a junction for trains working between Newcastle and western areas of the state. Late on the evening of Monday 28th December 2015, BRM002 leading SSR’s 4877 empty grain train to Nyngan prepares to depart. The signal and its associated electric staff safeworking system have since been replaced.
Plenty of color for a rainy day at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine. The restoration shop in the background is where they take the historic trolley cars from all around the U.S. and bring them back to life. The museum ticket includes free trolley rides and fun stories from the guides.
