I used the new Topaz product Restyle on this image to manipulate the color tones. I like how it came out.
An Indiana & Ohio Railroad interchange job passing the signals at CP Clifton in the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio. Sporting both modern and legacy equipment, this control point is certainly one of a kind.

A high ceiling, as yet untainted by BRs push to fit all manual boxes with the lowered cheap polystyrene roof tiles - which although effective in warming the boxes, looked awful! Also present are the old tin light covers that you could spin around to any direction - unfortunately there never seemed to be enough light from them.
The signal box is a GWR design and was built in 1914. It worked to Wellington box until 2002 when that became absorbed by Madeley Junction (which itself was demolished when Wolverhampton PSB took over in 2012).
As well as the subsequent installation of various colour light signals it now works to the West Midlands SCC which was the final one in the "Russian Doll" effect when it took over Wolverhampton PSB in 2016.
The triple and double stack ground disc signals have since been reduced to single ones and the main semaphore section signal (no.90) with Severn Bridge's distant signal beneath was later converted into a colour light.

Out with the old and in with the new. The new signals waiting to be turned and put into use all along the BNSF.

Fog Repeater Signal FR132 on platform 2 at North Weald Station on the heritage Epping Ongar Railway (EOR) in Essex (UK).
Fog repeater signals which have similar operating principles to banner repeaters on Network Rail are extensively used on the London Underground network to forewarn {or repeat) a driver of a forthcoming signal aspect.
As the name suggests these were originally designed for use in poor visibility, however they are now used to warn the driver of the forthcoming aspect when the actual signal is obscured or out of sight due to platform buildings, a curved tunnel etc.
In this case the repeater is for signal NW132 at the eastern end of platform 2.
This London 'Underground' fog repeater is a legacy of when North Weald Station was on the Central (tube) line from 1949 to 1994.
A Crosscountry Class 220 Voyager slows down for the next signal at Bournville with the 15:35 (16 late) 1V58 Edinburgh Waverley to Penzance. There wasn't much distance between this unit and the London Midland 323s in front; in fact, they were still in the station when this reached the old Cadbury's bridge, hence why a yellow signal is being displayed.
Canterbury East Signal Box, 14 October 2025. Built 1911 by the South Eastern & Chatham Railway to one of their standard designs but raised on steel supports to improve visibilty. It is the only SECR signal box remaining.
Moreover, rather surprisingly, the box was fitted with a London & Chatham Railway lever frame dating from 1878, one of only two such frames still extant. It is Grade II listed. Unfortuately, the box is in dreadful condition and the wooden staircase giving access to the cabin seems to have been removed, presumably because it was rotting away.
RD8048. The signal box at the Hollycombe Steam Collection which is just outside Liphook in Hampshire. It came from nearby Liphook station.
The Collection comprises steam operated fairground rides and traction engines. There is also a 2’ gauge railway and a standard gauge railway although the latter is currently out of use.
The Collection is well worth a visit.

And in this place, can you reassure me
With a touch, a smile while the cradles burning
All the while the world is turning to noise
Oh the more that its surrounding us
The more that it destroys
Turn up the signal
Wipe out the noise...
send out the signal deep and loud...
recieve and transmit...
signal to noise by peter gabriel ( selected lyrics )
as most of you know, i have an obsession with these images. i think it has something to do with my passion for words and communication more than anything else. these just stand out as a strong symbol and a little reminder to myself. i hope we all continue to
recieve and transmit.

This was actually at the Hilltop Park in Signal Hill, I didn't get to explore other parts of the area such as Panorama Promenade since i was overwhilmed with the sunset and the beautiful clouds hovering above Long Beach. It was very foggy or smoggy as expected in socal, but it was still a great view.
This was by far one of my favorite photops that i did by myself, listening to my ipod and just... chilled

exposure blending via layering.. didn't do too good of a job with the people in the picture, i was trying avoid the ghosting..

Signal Hill History:
The hill that the city is named after is 365 feet (110 m) above the surrounding community of Long Beach. Because of this height, it was used by the local Tongva Indians for signal fires that could seen throughout the surrounding area and even out to Catalina Island, 26 miles (42 km) away.
After the Spanish discovered Alta California ("Upper California," or what is now the state of California), Signal Hill eventually became part of the first large rancho grant to be allotted under Spanish rule in Alta California. The Rancho San Pedro (Dominguez Rancho) land grant exceeded 74,000 acres (300 km2) as granted to a soldier, Juan Jose Dominguez, who accompanied Junipero Serra, by Governor Fages through authority of King Carlos III of Spain in 1784.
Between 1913 and 1923 an early California movie studio, Balboa Amusement Producing Company (also known as Balboa Studios) was located in Long Beach and used 11 acres (45,000 m²) on Signal Hill for outdoor locations. Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle were two of Balboa Studio actors who had films shot on Signal Hill.
Before oil was discovered in Signal Hill, there were large homes built on the hill itself, and in the lower elevations was an agricultural area where fruits, vegetables, and flowers were grown. Many of the truck farmers were Japanese.

It was one of those magic moments where the sunset is perfect and then someone shows up with balloons. I loved this day.
