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.
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!
The signal box at Petersfield, right on the level crossing. Grade II listed and beautiful.

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)."
UP dispatcher 12 has lined an eastward move following a manifest train on the former Chicago & North Western main line at Nachusa, IL. These searchlight signals date to the early Fifties CTC project on this busy part of the "Overland Route", but are destined for replacement within the next year.
Red over red over lunar white indicates "Restricting" and requires the following train to proceed prepared to stop within half the range of vision.
An eastbound Conrail manifest passes the now-removed PRR signals at Whiting in 1996. The signals were being moved to a larger cantilever mount at the time; in 2016 that replacement was replaced with the now-standard Safetrans signals.
Conrail itself was replaced here with Norfolk Southern in 1999.
Crewe Heritage Centre has the old Crewe North Signal box which is open to visit. So many things that can be photographed and well worth a visit
This is one of the first photos I took on a test run of my new Pentax K3 Mark III camera after my old camera died. Conditions were fairly difficult with deep cloud shadows looking into a bright sky, so this is a three shot HDR. The camera will take some getting used to, with an entirely different layout of buttons, dials, and menus, but it will do everything but shovel snow and make coffee.
Saw this lady while I was on holiday in Whitby trying out the new coffee lid mobile phone signal booster!
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.

Freightliner 66538 and 66513 wait at Signal GL 9026 whilst working 0T68 Crewe Basford Hall - Crewe PAD to shunt and piece together the HOBC (High Output Ballast Cleaner) which would later go out on 6X37 20:36 Crewe PAD - Earlestown Up & Down Loop. Taken from a position of safety.
As close as I dare go to the ominous cell phone tower on top of the hill.... Topeka Kansas.

There was a mixture of Semaphore and colour light signals in Ipswich station when I took this picture of a pair of Class 37's 37089+37060 coming through with a freightliner train. 09/09/1983.

Cambus (nr Stirling) old station remains - just a crumbling platform - and signals on the freight only line on 16/6/85. This line would re-open to passengers being the Stirling-Alloa , in 2008.
This signal tower is located at the C&O Railway Heritage Center in Clifton Forge, Virginia. According to information at the museum, the rectangular two-story design was adopted around 1900. This particular tower is a replica of an earlier one, as noted in the museum's entry on the Virginia Tourism Corporation website.
