BNSF 7590 passes under the old Santa Fe signal bridges with a long stack train at Mp. 313 in La Plata, MO. on the BNSF Marceline Sub. (5-1-2013)
Now a thing of the past, I wish I had photographed these more and the others along the line for that matter.
A creek near Signal Mountain. Chattanooga, Tennessee is 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.

For now, signal territory starts and ends between here and Merrill Road some 11-12 mile ahead. Furthermore, there is a gap of about 10 miles west between here and MP 180 where the next signal lies. In the coming year(s) with both slated grant work and CSX taking over, TCS will be extended from MP180 through to Leeds Junction and create actual controlled sidings, as well as control the ability to line the switch at Leeds Jct. For now, it's business as usual on Pan Am as they get underway out of Danville encroaching on the dark hours of the day.

Back before the COVID-19 stay-at-home quarantine began, I began organizing some of my older photos. This is one of the first photos I forgot about and edited.
One of the last train photos I took with my 2005-vintage Olympus C-60Z digital camera. It wouldn't survive much longer, forcing me to buy a second one from eBay. Fortunately, I had gotten my first DSLR (Canon Rebel XTi) not long before this, and I was still waiting on a memory card and camera bag for it before I could begin using it (back when 4GB CompactFlash cards were still really expensive).
Here we see BNSF H2 4544 going east through the CB&Q-era East Somonauk signal bridge in Somonauk, IL on the BNSF Mendota Sub. This signal bridge survived until 2011, but it's counterpart at West Somonauk was taken out in a derailment with Amtrak in 2006.
Out and about with Phill in the forest all day. It was the sunniest day we've had in some time, still trying to dodge the wind and rain later in the evening, though it was fairly sheltered in the shallow valley we found ourselves in after walking for 20 mins. A great spot with a nice little forest bridge.

I have removed a modern streetlight which was annoyingly positioned just to the left of the loco. To many uprights next to each other! A little annoyed that the telegraph pole is not fully visible but at least there is an impression that the wires are not just hanging in mid-air.

I came across this photo in a folder from last year. Decided I liked this crop better than what I had previous uploaded eighteen months ago. I hear that this signal is not long for this world, in fact it may very well already be scrap. That's sad. Sandcut is a magical spot, though, and no trip to Tehachapi is complete without spending a few hours here.
Another angle of the Blackpool North semaphores and No.2 signalbox, with the 1U65 12:40 to Manchester Airport departing on 7th February 2017 (156452 on the rear). The cast iron lamp post is a remarkable survivor, and there are also a number of them remaining in the carriage/DMU sidings on the up side. This scene will be totally transformed by the end of the year.

Something we see often but never really notice, as traffic signal maintenance takes place. Given an oil paint treatment.
View from inside the rebuilt 1861 Stockton & Darlington Railway signalbox at Kirkby Stephen East, HQ of the Stainmore Railway heritage railway, in the process of creating a museum dedicated to the famed Stainmore line and the North Eastern Railway. They say that when complete the box will be the oldest working signalbox in the world. Outside locomotive 2392, a NER 0-6-0 built in 1923, later to become LNER class J27. It's normally resident on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
Signal at the Genoa Museum. Was driving by in the morning when this possible juxtaposition caught my eye. Reversed course, parked and walked around to line up the shot.
I thought we were heading away today, but we've postponed our departure until tomorrow -- which means ... well, y'know ...
The is a "tree" of old signal lanterns once used on the railway. It looks a bit like an HDR image, but it isn't.
Rust and poor maintenance are evident on BA7 signal post at Blair Atholl station. It supports a bracket frame that now only shows one signal arm.
This was taken during a 1Z10 photo shoot in Scotland. One of the challenges that frequently arises during such a shoot is pictures tend to be repeated, after all there are only so many vantage points. What I enjoy is trying to find a new angle a different point of view.
So here is my shot of this lovely station showing 66433 having a passing point break with the 4D47, 1310 Inverness Mossend waiting for a late running northbound HST.
Most pictures posted at CP 102 on the Cleveland Line are taken with the eastbound signal bridge. Here is one with the westbound signals, as an eastbound mixed freight rolls past.
Coasting on Main 1, CN 2793, still sporting CitiRail colors, passes under the signal gantry heading east through Durand, Michigan. Its about the pound the city's iconic diamond that crosses over the northern end of CN's Holly Sub. Times certainly have changed as back in 2017, I caught my last Draper Taper leader around this exact spot.
This scene has now changed out of recognition with the elimination of the manual semaphore signalling and consequent closure of North Signal Box. (Copyright Robin Stewart-Smith - All Rights Reserved)
Sometimes we need to walk away so far, even signal won't catch us. Is in the loneliness of those places, when with nature's help, we meet our soul again, in peace.
