Back to film, using Kentmere400 exposed at EI200. It, or I, am inconsistent wit regard to outcomes on tonality, but the grain holds up well with one stop reduction with Xtol stock. Will need to work with this more in the diversity of climate from CO to CA. Thanks to the flickeranians who keep inspiring us all to get out and capture.
Wilmslow signal box located alongside between the Down Main line (in front of the signal box) and the Down Styal line at the south end of Wilmslow railway station
Wilmslow signal box was a British Railways London Midland Region non standard design, one of three similar signal boxes built in connection with the Crewe to Manchester 25kV overhead electrification. It was built by EB Jones and opened fitted with a Westinghouse Brake & Signal Company Limited one control switch panel on 26th June 1959 under stage 2 of the resignalling between Crewe and Cheadle Hulme, replacing Chelford Loop, Chelford Station, Chelford Sidings, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow Station, and Handford Sidings signal boxes. The signal box was closed at 01:30 on 10th December 2005 and demolished within a month during upgrading of the line between Crewe and Cheadle Hulme, officially closing on 19th June 2006 when signalling controlled by Manchester South Signalling Control Centre was commissioned

This railway signal is just standing in the middle of the parking lot in front of Bathurst railway station here in NSW Australia.
Exit signals, ลupkรณw direction, train station in Komaลcza (Subcarpathia, Poland).
My grandpa used to have some beehives ca. 4 km from this place. When I was a child we often get a train to came here from Sanok to look after bees. I wish I could turn back the time and take such trip once more.
I'm not sure if the train station is used for passenger traffic anymore. I know there are some trains which are ending the route in Zagรณrz, about 30 km north from Komaลcza.
I'm afraid only irregular cargo trains rearly appear here.

Eastbourne signal box on 5th September 2002. It was built in 1882 and was converted to a NX panel power signal box in 1991. The box closed in 2015 when the line was resignalled and control was moved to the signalling centre at Three Bridges.

The junction station at St Georges d'Aurac Gare, as at many rural locations in France retained mechanical signalling in 2005 (it may still do so - can anyone confirm ?)

Class 47/4 47468 passes Llysfaen signal box with the 08:15 Holyhead to Crewe.
Llandulas station was opened at this location by the London & North Western Railway on 1st August 1862. Once a new station for Llandulas was opened further to the east, this somewhat remote station was renamed as Llysfaen. Both passenger and goods services were withdrawn in January 1931. The Saxby & Farmer signal box controlled access to the adjacent sidings used by the ICI quarry and was taken out of use in 1983. In the distance is the Penmaenrhos Tunnel and to the right of the locomotive construction of the North Wales Expressway could be seen in progress.

This Derby Suburban 3-car unit had worked the 09:32 from Birmingham New Street via Stourbridge Junction to Worcester Shrub Hill. The empty stock was being taken back out of the station to be stabled pending the next allocated duty. Class 116 DMBS 53070 was nearest to the camera.

The impressive signal box at Aberystwyth, at the terminus of the Cambrian Railways main line. It was built by Signalling Contractors, Dutton & Co. and was to the Type 3 design with roofed landing. It opened in 1893 and contained a frame of 71 levers, soon extended to 78 levers to cope with expansion at the station. When the GWR absorbed the Cambrian Railways system after the 1923 Grouping, they installed a frame of 100 levers of their own manufacture. With rationalisation of the station layout, the box closed on 25th April 1982 and the line was then controlled by 'No Signalman Token' Regulations from Dovey Junction. This was superceded in 1988 by Radio Token Block controlled from Machynlleth. Note the fine concrete post lower quadrant signal on the left. There was a number of these concrete post signals on the former Cambrian Railways system and probably dated from the early days of GWR control. The upper quadrant bracket signal on the right, is much later and dates from the time after the London Midland Region assumed responsibility for the line.

After Edale it was off to Earles arriving at 1050'ish.
A lovely box, it's looks spoilt by it's flat roof which like Great Rocks is the result of a fire .
Absolute block both ways again and here there's an IB section in both directions.
The box and sidings opened in 1929 with the opening of the cement works located at the end of the branch.
The narrower centres and the location of the frame in the back of the box give a clue to it's more recent heritage.
Not a lot has changed here over the years, the IB's were introduced to counteract closures of boxes at Norman's Bank (towards Edale) and Hope / Bamford. The box diagram is dated 1982 and is very little altered. A busier box than it's Grade 3 neighbors on each side it is thus a 4.
The cement works were developed by G & T Earle and thus surely the Earles should have an apostrophe but it hasn't ??
Some details of the branch and it's history here...

Richard William Wright (28 July 1943 - 15 September 2008) was a self-taught pianist and keyboardist best known for his long career with Pink Floyd. Though not as prolific a songwriter as his bandmates Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and David Gilmour, he wrote significant parts of the music for classic albums such as Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, as well as for Pink Floyd's final studio album The Division Bell. Wrightโs richly textured keyboard layers were a vital ingredient and a distinctive characteristic of Pink Floyd's sound. In addition, Wright frequently sang background and occasionally lead vocals onstage and in the studio with Pink Floyd (most notably on the songs "Time", "Echoes", and on the Syd Barrett composition "Astronomy Domine").

The Only post-processing of photo is slight cropping.
Flare was made with a small flashlight covered with a red candy wrapper and a 25 second exposure.
The box was located on the Midland Main Line and controlled the junction to Nuneaton and Birmingham. The box closed on 29th June 1986 when signalling control went to Leicester Power Box.
Eye candy for a rather important talk I'm about to give.
Animated version below (give it time to load).
These old searchlight signals date back to 1942, when the longest block (171 miles) of CTC controlled by one location ( Las Vegas, NV) was installed between Las Vegas NV and Yermo CA. The area saw 50+ trains per day not including all the light helper moves and CTC fixed the problems of hours of delays.
Protecting the west end of Ivanpah CA, they are to be replaced this spring...
After chasing 21M with the Illinois Terminal heritage unit, I decided to stick around to wait for 23M who was running not far behind with an SD70 leading. Here, 23M is seen passing beneath the 263 signal bridge in Summerhill, PA in brilliant sunlight. Of course, when 21M went by, the sun was not out.
Created for a display at Romsey Signal Box museum. The diagram is based on the superb work of the late G.A Pryer, with Thanks and acknowledgement. Photos of the signals by Andy Moody and Neil Kearns, except where marked.

I don't recall Daisy taking these leg shots at all. I just discovered them when I looked over the weekend's photos this morning. She must have done them when I stepped inside for a moment. Perhaps she was momentarily overcome by the sublime nylon incased vista that lay before her...and couldn't resist the urge to document it for posterity.๐
In any case, I think it's quite clear that she loves what she is seeing, and never wants it to end. Hey, who can blame her? ๐
Looking north east towards the LC and SB at Philadelphia on 6 October 1971.
Part of the loco shed is visible beyond the LC.
The LC was on the A182 at NZ334522.
The signalman at Pottington hangs precariously out of his box window; instead of using the stand provided; to hand-over the token to an approaching DMU from Ilfracombe, for the short single line section to Barnstaple Town, which can be seen to the rear of the box. The structure was literally built on the bank of the Taw estuary, and although the waters are tranquil on this day, they must have been very rough at times at this exposed location and the box somewhat draughty. The structure is an LSW Type 3b stone-to floor box which opened on 4th August 1890 when the section between here and Braunton was doubled. It possessed a Stevens & Sons Tappet frame of 19 levers and originally the single line to Barnstaple Town was worked by Tyer's No.3 tablet, later replaced by Key Token. With the singling of the line to Ilfracombe in December 1967 using the former Up line, Pottington was reduced to ground frame status to oversee the adjacent swing bridge. It closed for good along with the Ilfracombe branch on 5th October 1970
This is a taller dwarf in Biberbrugg. Einsiedeln is the only other station with this type of higher dwarf signals. The reason is the visibility in snow. Switzerland, Oct 4, 2016.
