The distant signal for East Cuba had already been a non-searchlight for some time, but on this trip I noted that a 2nd head has been added for the westbound aspect - allowing for additional aspects can be displayed and also is a sure sign that the Searchlights at East Cuba have been replaced.

This is Cark station possibly in 1952. By the stance of the chap on the platform the train is arriving and is stopping short of where he thought it would. Cark looks a lovely little country station with good buildings which have a glazed canopy, a substantial goods shed in the goods yard and a fine signal box.
42402 was built at Derby Works, it was a Fowler 2-6-4T and it entered traffic as 2402 on 20/09/1933. The loco was withdrawn 13/10/1962 and scrapped 11/03/1963. At the time of Peter's picture it was an 11B Barrow-in-Furness allocated machine

Signal du Bougès, which at 1,421m is both the highest point on the ridge and marks our highest point for the day’s walking. The grey clouds are an ominous sign of what was to come.

Having crossed over the Illinois River and passed the one-time crew change point at Chillicothe without stopping, a Willow Springs, IL to North Bay, California trailer train rolls through the "S" curve at the west end of Chillicothe Yard and past the signal bridges at the West Chillicothe control point.
Just a few hundred yards west of this point, the five engines will begin to pull their train of trailers for the San Francisco-Oakland area up the 1.1% grade up Edelstein hill and out of the Illinois River valley.
This train was symboled as the Z WSPNBY9 21L.

The antenna in Signal Hill is decorated as a towering Christmas. It becomes a local landmark as it is visible across much of south land.
So I took this picture during the evening rush hour on Friday after the TTC had signal trouble yet again. Even though they kept repeating that there was no service, the trains weren't going anywhere and shuttle buses were upstairs, people still kept coming downstairs and waiting inside the trains. To fix this, they turned off all the lights and closed the doors on both trains.
Anyways, the TTC is in need of some serious funding because it's only going to get worse before it gets better.

The Griswold Signal Company manufactured these types of "rotating banner" signals, beginning in 1927. When the crossing signal was activated, a rotating stop sign would turn to face the motorist/pedestrian/bicyclist. These signals were common in Minnesota, but could be found elsewhere. This one greets visitors at the Minnesota Transportation Museum.
According to Wikipedia, "As of November 2016, there are only half a dozen known Griswold signals still in service along active rail, all in Minnesota, none with rotating stop sign signals. The last pair with an operating banner protected 22nd Ave NE in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Griswolds in Tacoma, Washington and San Jose, California were both removed circa 2010.".
Out in the country on the edge of a small town, this little one lane bridge allows trains to run underneath. If you're on one side, you cannot see the cars on the other side so the signal is very necessary.

The current signal box was reconstructed from 1974 to 1976 approximately on the site of the original signal box. The frame, which has 30 levers, is originally from Kidderminster Station.

From what I recall, this signal box, which has since been demolished, was in West Hartlepool; to the east of Hartlepool station.
The photograph would be taken from the point of the level crossing at the end of Church Street and the start of Mainsforth Terrace.
The lines curving round to the right are the current lines running down the Durham coast to Seaton Carew and beyond.
West Hartlepool locomotive depot was about half a mile further down this line, towards Seaton Carew. The area of the depot, which was to the north of the road bridge on the A178 and the start of Coronation Drive, still remains undeveloped.
Network Rail Signalbox, Chester Street, Shrewsbury, 18 November 2025.
Crewe Junction signal box is not the biggest signal box in the world, in fact it’s not even the biggest signal box in Shrewsbury, but it is the easiest to photograph.
With its signal box and semaphores, Pontrilas is a delightful reminder of how the railways used to be. Here 66534 'OOCL Express' passes with (6V75) 0923 Dee Marsh Reception Sdg - Margam.
Tonight Cole and i headed to China Walls for sunset. The light hasn't been great but still pretty nice clouds. We decided to hang around a bit after and get some star shots before we ate. While hanging out, waiting for it to get a bit darker we talked with this cool group of fisherman, I finally decided to ask them to stand still for 20 seconds to see what I could get! My hand moved more then I wanted but I have a better one from last night that I'll share someday! I have been loving the Goal Zero flashlight that I got, its pretty powerfull and changers with usb or solar and of course makes for a great prop!

This railroad signal is next to the bike trail, which at one time was a railroad track. I guess they left the signal for decoration or something, I don't know. Today's daily shot.
Whitby signal box, photographed on 3 August 1981.
From wikipedia:
"In 1854, the Y&NM helped form the North Eastern Railway, who later added two more platforms (also replaced by the supermarket) to help deal with traffic from the other branch lines that served Whitby; the Esk Valley Line finally opened throughout to a junction at Grosmont in 1863. The coast line from Loftus opened in 1883 and from Scarborough in 1885. Block signalling replaced the time interval system in 1876 and brought Whitby an unusual three storey signal box (to make it high enough to see over the adjacent goods shed)."
