Newly returned to traffic after 40 years of restoration, 78018 on hire to the Nene Valley Railway looks great on the first winter warmer passing the Signals at Sutton Cross.
Check at the signal, he goes and has a word. I can remember he was driving a class 37 on freight that day.

The majestic Victorian signal box at Shrewsbury Shropshire (UK)

The GWR have done an excellent job in signalling the Toddington station area, which has no doubt contributed to the success of the Festival of Steam in making the station layout flexible and controllable. Lower quadrant Great Western Railway signals dominate this picture, with the Auto train moving way below.
Celebrity green machine 40106 hauling a mixed train of tanks and presflos. Chester Aug 1981. New signals look to be in place, so the semaphores in the background hadn't got long. The same engine and the semaphore signals are seen in a closer shot, taken by the signal box in 1983, in this photo: flic.kr/p/TVrwnb
I took an early morning bike ride to Signal Hill for some sunrise photos and took a hike around the trail. It was quite windy but it was still nice and warm and there quite a few people walking the trail.
The first train of the day up the hill from Alresford towards Ropley during the 2024 Spring Steam Gala at the Mid-Hants Railway was in the hands of visiting Jubilee Class 4-6-0 "Leander". I understand that the wreath was in memory of one of Leander's support crew who had sadly passed away a few days earlier.
Locomotive: LMS Stanier Jubilee Class 4-6-0 45690 "Leander".
Location: Northside Lane foot crossing near Ropley, Mid-Hants Railway/Watercress Line, Hampshire.
Dear Reader, we ate them........
The Signal Crayfish has ousted the smaller native crayfish from most of the rivers in the UK. Our own local river still has native ones, long may it remain so. these came from the farmers' Market where the stall-holder said they catch them in their own river - somewhere in the fens I guess.
they were good, but a lot of work for the food acquired!

I am posting several pictures of signals to get comments on the problem of red not appearing as
red in photos. I know railroads are very fussy about the accuracy of colors in signals but in
many of my pictures red appears as orange or pink or as a white light surrounded by a red ring. These pictures are of new signals that look perfectly normal in the field. I am a begginer in regard to Photoshop. Ward Hill, MA on a cloudy day approaching twilight. Once again the track 2 signals look OK and the green on track 1 is OK but the lower red looks white surrounded by a red circle. The crossing signal looks more orange than red but that could be because of it flashing.
Manea Signal Box appears to be slowly sinking backwards into the Fens in this 1981 picture. Opened in 1883 the structure was a GE Type 3 design supplied by Signalling Engineers McKenzie and Holland of Worcester, having a distinctive window pattern, decorative bargeboards, ridge tiles and finials. With the advance of power signalling, the box became the fringe box to Cambridge PSB in May 1992. Note the steps and landing are made out of Dexion, probably as a result of subsidence and decay.

A CSX chemical train symboled as K428-05 streaks west past the cluster of C&O signals at the west end of Vauces center siding on the former C&O Northern Subdivision. Sunset is close at hand, not only for this particular day, but for the signals themselves. CSX is embarking on a major signal replacement project on the Northern Sub. that will eliminate all these venerable sentinels from the Chesapeake & Ohio era.
The south end of the subdivision was converted in April 2012, and signal gangs are currently at work on the 20-mile stretch between Minford and MR Cabin. Come summer, this pleasant scene will be interrupted by orange marking paint, trenches, conduit, new equipment cases, and new aluminum signals. Come fall, these distinctive C&O signals will be uprooted from the place where they have guarded train movements for decades, and will be unceremoniously dumped into a scrap pile as so much detritus from a bygone era.
Enjoy the living memory of the C&O while you still can.
I am not sure what this guy was trying to signal, but our excursion train was having a photo op in Glenwillow, Ohio, on the former Connotton Valley. (Scanned from a slide)
This dual bracket post signal – with a doll arm at right – is becoming a rarity along the former Norfolk & Western Railroad's tracks.
This image depicts the glory of British route signaling in the lower quadrant semaphore era. Shown are the up down home signals controlled by Exeter Middle signalbox at Exeter St. Davids station in Exeter, Devon, England. This was on the former Great Western Railway main line from London to Plymouth.
Speed signaling tells one the speed at which one may safely travel a particular route, which may include diverging crossovers.
Route signaling tells one the route which one will travel; by knowing the routing, one can infer the safe speed. In British route signaling, it was often the case that each route had its own signal post. What we see here is a signal that governs trains on one track (the one to the right of the post). There are four distinct destinations to which a train can travel from this point.
The tallest post represents the main (straight) route; the other posts correspond with two routes diverging to the left of the main route and one route diverging to the right.
The top blades (red background with a white stripe and square end) are the home signal arms, the arms below are distant arms (yellow background with a fishtail end and black chevrons) – these repeat the indication of the next home signal. The small bottom arms are call on arms; they can be cleared to permit movement into occupied trackage at reduced speed.
Imagine trying to "read" one's signal at night! Still, this is a beautiful example of bygone British railway heritage.
