We reached the end of the road on this pensinular and it would have been lovely to expore further, visit the signal station, see the sea on the other side, find a better spot for the flowering heather. But Ireland has no right to roam and no network of footpaths, which is sometimes very frustrating.
Still standing, two pairs of US&S H2's act as intermediates at Mile 44.7 of Canadian National's Halton Sub. The R plate beside the single aspect upgrades the stop and proceed indication to a restricting to allow trains to pass the signal without stopping when following other trains.
NS B14 passes by the Conrail era trilight signals at CP Belshaw in Belshaw Indiana on the Kankakee Line. Leading the train is a GP60 and a GP33ECO. Shooting trains on this line can be rather difficult with all daily road traffic abolished and routed elsewhere.

Happy Telegraph Tuesday
For the remaining few years of the C&O signals on CSX's Northern sub I made a few mostly unsuccessful trips to catch trains and the classic signals. Probably the most famous location in the area was the Vauces interlocking where this westbound skirts the center siding on its way to Columbus.
Former NBR High Street Goods signal box. Opened in 1904 and closed in 1967. Survived until the early 2000s despite the yard closing in 1982.
Surviving GSWR built Bell St goods bonded warehouse of College St goods in background. Apparently the premises were used by Scotch whisky blenders. Building now converted to flats.

Having a desire to snag a dramatic night photo of the searchlight signals in Old Monroe, Mo. was always on my to-do-list.
On this night, it worked out perfectly with the high clouds racing overhead and the glow of the city lights in the distance. I even got a little help with the cold weather because some of the folks in town had fires burning. Their smoke after filtering through the air was thin enough to help create the perfect flare from the signals' light.

Knocking off mile my mile and cruising at every bit of track speed train 107 with a LNG set up front splits the 63 signals in the middle of Dorena siding. The entire 20 hours or so on the FEC were irritating, frustrating and just rather interesting. From wild hogs going nuts in the woods next to me here, the homeless life in Saint Augustine coming out of the thicket and almost getting hit to just getting plan ole cloud fucked, and trains running way off schedule on a fairly scheduled railroad. FEC was not my friend this trip but I did still get a few decent trains.
CN power brings 66R east into Loudonville after waiting on a maintainer to clear late in the morning on the first day of March 2020. While the eastbound signal bridge in the distance isn't very common, the PRR dwarf in the foreground is just one of two left in service on the Fort Wayne Line and may be one of the only left active anywhere on NS.
NS 12Z heads north through Troutville, VA, passing the old N&W CPL signals. In the last year, Norfolk Southern has replaced some CPLs in favor of more modern signals. It's still being determined how much longer the signals will be around.
This round mound of a mountain doesn't get much attention when one is at the iconic Oxbow Bend of the Snake River. Some rather craggy peaks like the "grand" one at the right does tho.
This is the northern section of Signal Mountain, with the 7720 foot summit to the SW. Incredible views of the Tetons from the top.
"Though located adjacent to the Tetons, Signal Mountain was not formed in the same manner or period. The mountain originally was formed by volcanic ashfall from one of the eruptions of the Yellowstone hotspot. The peak is also partially a glacial moraine formed by a receding glacier that came south out of the Yellowstone icecap. This same glacier also created neighboring Jackson Lake." Wikipedia
Have a wonderful week!
Henri-Georges Adam (1904–1967) was considered during his lifetime to be one of the greatest French sculptors and printmakers of his time. He is the creator of the emblematic Signal, a monumental sculpture spanning 22 metres and weighing 220 tonnes, commissioned by the State in 1956 for the terrace of the Musée-maison de la culture du Havre.
Buckhorn Lake road most known for the side by side searchlight signals just north of here actually has two sets of signals within just over a mile stretch that are easily accessible and both are on the endangered list. While the north set has new tri-lights sitting next to them this set isn't as noticeable. These search lights are actually sitting on brand new bases and have brand new conduit running into them still waiting to be cut over to this day. On nice September morning an empty coal train with a pair of Gevo's up front is notched out getting back up to speed after clearing the slow order in Holly
With some time to kill and no interest in looking for VTR 263 this time since it had a blue leaser leading again I decided I'd go find a shot of Amtrak 55, the southbound Vermonter from St. Albans to Washington.
The north end of the 8887 ft. siding at Walpole North (MP 146.8) on the New England Central Railroad's Palmer Sub features a nice set of Boston and Maine era searchlight signals. Interestingly the northbound signal is offset and features a 'doll arm' with a rare blue light making for an interesting historic scene with the train splitting the classic signals.

There's nothing special about the angle, or the train, just some winter sunlight and fresh snow on the hills.
CN Q117 hustles through the town of Rosedale, nearing the end of its unopposed run through the Directional Running Zone. Ahead lies slow orders, and a lineup of trains queuing up to meet opposing traffic as they approach metro Vancouver, British Columbia.
The background is dominated by the snow capped peaks of Mount Cheam, a 6,903ft summit in the Cascade Range, and the effective eastern end of the Fraser River Valley. This snow is fresh, and only the second round of snow to touch the higher elevations in the area this winter. As of now, Vancouver and the Fraser Valley have yet to have any snow touch down at ground level. I do enjoy the 'frosted' peaks as background, but am fine without having to commute in the white stuff.

the helsby junction starter signal shows clear as 35018 british india line drifts through the station
After dropping some rail near mile 6 and 18 on the Fording sub, a CWR train heads south back to Sparwood where it would tie down for the night. Here we have it passing the signal on the approach to Elkview, the mine seen in the background.
Early morning sun greets the eastbound unit cement train out of Mitchell. They are passing an endangered set of B&O-era intermediate signals west of Seymour.
Powered by a pair of GE's, CSX manifest freight M541 makes a southbound run down the KD Subdivision after a recrew and sunrise departure from Corbin. As the train rolls through Jacksboro, Tennessee it passes by the searchlight signals guarding the SE Jacksboro control point, which includes a dollarm mast and a dwarf to govern southbound movements.

Union Pacific's daily Ogden - Cheyenne manifest pulls its 75-car train under signal bridge 9469 between Baskin and Emory, Utah in Echo Canyon on June 27, 1992. UP's signal and cantilever bridges were removed from the Evanston Subdivision two decades ago. They were a necessity for signal aspect viewing when this left-hand running railroad operated steam locomotives with very long boilers. Not much of a problem for a crew in an SD40-2 with a low hood.

This wooden signal box, of standard Highland Railway pattern, is adjacent to the steel swing bridge built in 1909 for the Highland Railway; it crosses the east end of the Caledonian Canal at this point.
Signal boxes are a distinctive and increasingly rare building type that make a significant contribution to Scotland's diverse industrial heritage. Of more than 2000 signal boxes built across Scotland by 1948, around 150 currently survive (2013) with all pre-1948 mechanical boxes still in operation on the public network due to become obsolete by 2021. The signal box at Clachnaharry is a small and little-altered 1890 'Type 3' box by McKenzie and Holland. This important signalling manufacturer provided the signalling for much of the Highland Railway during the late 19th century. Other survivals of this once widespread type are a particularly large example at Aviemore Station and the North box at Boat of Garten Station on the preserved Strathspey Railway line.
