Semaphore signals at the end of the Longannet Power Station merry-go-round coal unloading loop.

The once busy Tondu signal box is a GWR box dating back to 1894, it is a GW3 design and had 63 recorded levers in 1963.
It now mainly controls passenger services to and from Bridgend to Maesteg but occasionally freight diversions are diverted via Tondu from Margam along the Ogmore Vale line to the Garw loop when engineering work takes place on the South Wales main line.
The box still controls 17 semaphore signals most of which are on the Ogmore and Garw valley line and are rarely used.
Today the signal man will use some of those rarely used levers as he speaks to the crew of DB Cargo class 66 locomotive 66150, as we head towards the Garw loop on the Garw Valley line and we will go way past this loop, until the vegetation stopped us! only to return past the box to access the Ogmore Vale line to Margam.

A native to the west coast of the US *except* California, the Signal Crayfish has become an invasive pest there and virtually wiped out all native crayfish. It was also introduced to Europe to restock crayfish supplies there after a plague... but it turns out to also be a carrier of said plague and joins the dubious list of introduced animals like the cane toad where a half second of forethought probably could have saved a lot of grief down the road.
Oh well...
60103 Flying Scotsman hauling The Hadrian train between Carlisle and York on Saturday July 29th 2017. Seen here just east of Haydon Bridge at around 4:50pm as it headed along the Tyne Valley line on the homeward leg of a day excursion. Drove past this location earlier in the week and could not resist returning for that vintage mainline signal.

Dunning signal box was situated between Auchterarder and Hilton junction. Not serving a level crossing it was mainly switched out, apart from on this occasion.
Dunning would close some 2 years later.
If I recall correctly, taken on a cycling trip to pick berries from Dunning using a compact film camera.
A further box visit back in October 2015 was Ulceby Signal Box.
Ulceby had evolved to cover quite a significant area compared with its original area. It had a reduced frame and an IFS panel. There was also room for a panel to cover Brocklesby but this never happened.
Sadly the box was demolished with undue haste following closure, before the local S&T even had time to recover equipment for spares, the box coming down with everything still in place.
This pretty, apparently nameless pond, a haven for mosquitoes (noted aplenty) and probably also moose (none seen this time) sits at the base of Signal Mountain, Grand Teton National Park.
Operating Marshalite clock traffic signal in courtyard at the RACV building in Bourke Street, Melbourne. These signals were used in parts of Melbourne from the 1930s to the 1960's. Invented by Charles Marshall in 1936, they were combined with conventional traffic lights at intersections in later years, although remained on their fixed time cycle. The section of Nepean Highway between Aspendale and Seaford had several of these signals which lasted the longest, and this is where the last of these signals was last used for traffic control.
NOTE the hands are not in proper synchranisation for two cross roads as originally intended as they point to red and green phases at the same time!

Brocklesby station and signal box sseen just before closure of the box in October 2015 just before York ROC took over control of the area.
The box is a curiosity, not only is it sunk into the island platform but its panel was intended as an emergency one that could switch in and out as required. The box was to close and Ulceby would have taken over the immediate area, however Brocklesby Signal Box remained and the panel took its place within the huge box, whose levers were removed and the frame boarded over, but it still remained beneath.
On 26th August 1983, 31298 passes Dawlish Warren signal box with an Exeter St Davids - Paignton working. I used to love sitting here listening to the 'Ding Ding' of the bells, then see the signalman pull the 'Peg Off' hoping the next working would have a 'Fifty' on it!
Signal Point was built in 1972 replacing the old station. Formerly Network Rail offices, a number of windows are now boarded up and the building lays empty. Swindon Railway Station is at the bottom and the building still has a huge BR double arrow.

There is volatility in the Forex market and the Forex trader must be aware of it. The trader must get accurate information to get maximum profits from the trade.

One of many scramble signals (with LEDs and countdown!) in Honolulu: pedestrians get full rein over the intersection once every light cycle, hence the diagonal crossing. High pedestrian volumes, retail distributed along several corridors, and narrow streets make Chinatowns pretty good locations for scrambles.
