New signal pedestals at the Denny Street level crossing in Kelmscott. Previously one side was signalsied at Railway Avenue but both sides have since been signalised to prevent cars being stuck in the crossing at the boom gates go down
It took around 3 months for the signals themselves to be installed after these photos were taken in August 2015.
Oh, so that's what it is
St. Joseph, MO
So say you're just the average person with really poor posture and/or crippling shyness, hunching your way down the street. Wouldn't it be great if you could tell what's at the OTHER end of all those posts you see sticking out of the sidewalk--without taking the trouble of actually LOOKING UP? Well, now you can! This post is obviously attached to a traffic signal, for instance, and you can tell that much without ever raising your gaze from the ground. What color is the light right now? Step into the street and find out! If you hear a horn honking or suddenly get run over, you'll know the light is not presently in your favor. Live and learn!

This is the signal conditioner board. I made this PCB by hand since it's really simple. I soldered the components as if they were surface-mount type.
The schematic diagram can be seen on Botanicalls' website.
This is a project similar to Botanicalls + Twitter.
Instead of sending twitter updates (the XPort shield is rather expensive) it will show the status on an LCD display and/or a computer screen running Processing.
Still unfinished and under test.
Signal Box Ruislip Underground Station (Metropolitan and Piccadilly Lines), 13 April 2024. Built in 1904 by the Harrow & Uxbridge Railway. Of course, it is not in use anymore but looked in very good condition.

Horrifying, yet interesting crayfish fact: Mothers are known to cannibalize their young!
Pregnant females carry eggs under their body until hatching. This signal crayfish, grown at Abernathy Fish Technology Center in Washington, was separated from her young once they hatched to reduce the risk of cannibalism.
Crayfish hatchlings measure just millimeters in length, not much longer than the tip of a pencil, and look just like adults.
The research center known for studying Pacific Northwest fish species also raises signal crayfish to learn about rearing techniques and about their life cycle in native habitat.

Wayside signals, as seen on the Funicolare Montesanto and Funicolare Centrale in Naples, Italy.
Why does a funicular railway need signals when it consists of two cars connected by a cable? The signals display red/green aspects based on whether the doors of the cars are open/closed. I'm not certain why this is necessary, as I would imagine there is some failsafe to prevent the system from starting when the doors of one car are still open.
Green-red: The doors of one car are closed, presumably those of the left-hand car (with respect to when they pass each other) on the cable.

The tea towel is to prevent the sweat from the hands of the signal man pitting and corroding the metal on the levers. They are extremely hard to move. The "straight arm" technique is preferred, and moving it half way, and then completeing the movement is recommended. As well as controlling the signals, the levers also do the points. Arley staton on the Severn Valley Railway, Worcestershire. The station was used as the setting for the fictitious station of Hatley in the BBC sitcom Oh Doctor Beeching!

The Nickel Plate 765 is doing a series of excursions in Michigan in June and July. The locomotive spent the night at Toledo Union Station before continuing to Owosso MI. This is an old auto bridge and a signal at CP 288 just west of the station. This image was processed in Photomatix using the Exposure Fusion technique.

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.
Woods at Signal Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee. Located in the eastern part of the state on the Cumberland Plateau. The city is surrounded by gorges, mountains and beautiful countryside. It has been experiencing a revitalization lately.
