Light and Morse Code were used to communicate day or night.
USS Turner Joy, a museum ship in Bremerton, Washington. This Forrest Sherman class destroyer was commissioned in 1959, saw war service in Vietnam, and has been at this location as a museum ship since 1991. Her claim to fame is her participation, with the USS Maddox (DD 731), in the Gulf of Tonkin Incident which the President Johnson administration staged in 1964 to justify a greatly expanded US participation in the ongoing war between North Vietnam and South Vietnam.
Upminster Signal Box, 12 July 2025 built in 1932. Designed by the LMS Chief Architect, William Henry Hamlyn.
Signal Hill (Bukit Bendara) is one of the highest points in KK city proper, so they built an observation deck which is one of the best spots to get a good view of Kota Kinabalu city. You can take a taxi to the observation deck, or you can try the jungle trek where you scale the side of Signal Hill. Since our trip to KK was an "outdoor recreation" trip, we tried the jungle trek! :)

Het hoogste punt van België is de Signal de Botrange met zijn 694m.

We saw them everywhere, never mind the fact that there is hardly any traffic. I guess they're handy in a country where power cuts are plentiful. They do have real traffic signals, but we didn't see any in use.
Now disused, the signal box still sits at the down end of the up platform. Once controlled the junction to the Outer circle line and more recently the APM siding. 28-11-2002
"Surely it's worth a few funny smells and a little noise to live this close to the beach."
Signal Hill was already being developed as a residential zone when the discovery well, Alamitos #1, came in with a gusher so strong it went 100 feet into the air.
People kept buying the lots, of course, and sometimes still living on them, though as often as not leasing their front or back yard to well drillers. They got a cut of the moola if the well hit, which they all did. Everyone's got their own priorities in home improvement, I guess.
Even today, this part of L.A. has oil pumps nodding away in all manner of unlikely places right next to inhabited structures. There are health issues, but then the air in L.A. is already pretty toxic.
This photo is a colorized detail from a large panorama of Signal Hill that is available at the Library of Congress site. They can find no renewal of the old copyright, so the whole thing is presumed to be in the public domain.
Barry signal box, August 2013. A large building which housed 77 lever frames in 1957, but has just 4 active semaphore levers in use today. It would have been a very busy signal box in its day, with coal traffic to Barry Docks and passenger services to Barry Island. Sadly, after 116 years of service, it is due to be decommissioned in January 2014. Aberthaw signal box was closed down in early 2013, and other signal boxes in South Wales including Ystrad Mynach and Bargoed on the Rhymney line, are scheduled to be decommissioned in September 2013. This is the result of modernisation by Network Rail, where all signalling will soon be controlled from Cardiff.

Chacewater signal box on the Down (towards Penzance) platform at Chacewater railway station
Chacewater signal box was a Great Western Railway Company type 7d design fitted with a 35 lever Great Western Railway Company Vertical Tappet 3-bar frame that was ordered in March 1912. It was inspected on 17th November 1914 and replaced an earlier signal box. A 2 lever miniature frame was installed at some time to operate the detonator placers and a British Railways Western Region key control instrument was commissioned on 10th March 1957 controlling 100 signal (up intermediate block). The signal box closed on 12th June 1977 when the absolute block section was extended to between Truro and Drump Lane signal boxes

The signals are almost all made by US&S. Portland's light rail uses an interesting route signaling system with these sorts of automatic block signals along open rail. Where the trains run on the streets neat pre-empt signals that use vertical bar for go and horizontal bar for stop are used, to distinguish them from vehicular signals.

At Abergynolwyn station, on the Talyllyn railway. As we discovered today, the world's first preserved railway, and now part of the latest UK unesco world heritage site - illustrating the heritage of the slate industry.
We also discovered that those green and yellow cases are to store the tokens - as a single line with passing places, this is how they make sure the trains don't occupy the same part of the track at the same time.
