This is the where they used to keep the signal flags for the lighthouse at Green Cape NSW. So signals were flown from here to ships sailing by. A dangerous area for sailing in the colonial days. The old light in the background. Now a tourist destination.
Knaresborough signal box is one of a small number of signal boxes that was built as an 'extension' on the end of an established row of properties rather than as a 'free standing' structure. The level crossing has remained manually operated and is primarily a pedestrian crossing of the line. However, the wicket gates are secured by the signaller for the passage of trains. The box is Grade II listed
The train, which has just crossed the viaduct over the River Nidd is on the Leeds - Harrogate - York route
Knaresborough is a market and spa town in the Borough of Harrogate, in North Yorkshire, England, on the River Nidd. It is 3 miles east of Harrogate
Hopefully Chris can tell us what type of train it is
After finding some coal empties departing Laurel northbound, we decided to follow them north up the Laurel Sub and, eventually, the Broadview Sub. This is a new section of track that was put in about 15 years ago to service the large Signal Peak Mine just south of Roundup, MT. With several hills and a mix of wooded and wide open terrain, it's a neat piece of railroad that tends to elude the camera. Signal Peak was churning out coal loads the week we were visiting, and this E-RBGSXM2-50F is one of several trains we saw heading to or from the mine.
POAY ducks under the B&M era signal bridge and searchlights at CPF 241 in Rollinsford, NH on a fall afternoon.
#ONT113 passes an old searchlight signal, at New Liskeard that once used to light the right of way for trains on the Temagami Subdivision. The crew on this train loved to have their pictures taken, if you could notice the upside down 👌 pose the conductor is giving.
Single unit northbound B&O 4171 leads the way at Deshler, Ohio, back when the signal bridges were still in place - March 1986.

CSS AF4 slowly rolls through the double-track crossover at 51.5 near Ogden Dunes. The signals are dark due to a signal suspension in place between Gary Metro and Bailly as part of the Double Track NWI project.
While driving back toward my hotel, I stopped to grab a photo of a pair of searchlights. Although not as sought after as the semaphores on the Raton Sub as they're much more common, they're still sick and my favorite signal type.
I was sitting at my desk last Friday when I got a call from the boss telling me to get my bum out the door and get a picture of the moon. I had no idea what he was talking about so I wandered around my building until I saw it. It was gorgeous!! Like a good employee I rounded everyone up for a look and while all were nicely distracted, I slipped out the backdoor. :-)
Totally uncomfortable with night photography, there I was in the freezing cold and wondering how to do this. There is a line in a song I like, "It is better to feel pain, than nothing at all," and let me tell you, it was painful. :-) Literally, my hands hurt, I could't feel my face, also no tripod. So I propped the camera up on a bollard and gave it a try. I lasted ten minutes max before I thought I would freeze to the earth.
Anyhow...here is the wolf moon. I wasn't sure if I was doing it justice but regardless, I loved being out there. Me and night photography.....a stubborn love.

I'm snowed in today but cozy, happy, and hopped up on coffee. Wishing you all the same good Friday feels!
We reached the end of the road on this pensinular and it would have been lovely to expore further, visit the signal station, see the sea on the other side, find a better spot for the flowering heather. But Ireland has no right to roam and no network of footpaths, which is sometimes very frustrating.

Happy Telegraph Tuesday
NS B14 passes by the Conrail era trilight signals at CP Belshaw in Belshaw Indiana on the Kankakee Line. Leading the train is a GP60 and a GP33ECO. Shooting trains on this line can be rather difficult with all daily road traffic abolished and routed elsewhere.
Former NBR High Street Goods signal box. Opened in 1904 and closed in 1967. Survived until the early 2000s despite the yard closing in 1982.
Surviving GSWR built Bell St goods bonded warehouse of College St goods in background. Apparently the premises were used by Scotch whisky blenders. Building now converted to flats.
