Signal cabin at high level - Balham to East/West Croydon line in foreground at Streatham Common station - 27.8.78
Wilmslow signal box located alongside between the Down Main line (in front of the signal box) and the Down Styal line at the south end of Wilmslow railway station
Wilmslow signal box was a British Railways London Midland Region non standard design, one of three similar signal boxes built in connection with the Crewe to Manchester 25kV overhead electrification. It was built by EB Jones and opened fitted with a Westinghouse Brake & Signal Company Limited one control switch panel on 26th June 1959 under stage 2 of the resignalling between Crewe and Cheadle Hulme, replacing Chelford Loop, Chelford Station, Chelford Sidings, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow Station, and Handford Sidings signal boxes. The signal box was closed at 01:30 on 10th December 2005 and demolished within a month during upgrading of the line between Crewe and Cheadle Hulme, officially closing on 19th June 2006 when signalling controlled by Manchester South Signalling Control Centre was commissioned

An eastbound stack train kicks up fresh show as it approaches a high green at West Essex. BNSF is replacing older searchlight style signals across the pass.
Class 'J' 4-8-4 no 611 eastbound, smoking despite the downhill gradient, passes under new signal gantries at Singer, west of Roanoke, Virginia, on the former Norfolk & Western Railroad's main line, with the return leg of an excursion from Radford. 29 May 2017
More signals by Welsh's Bridge Box at Inverness. Attempts to photograph trains here were thwarted by cloud - the sun being very intermittent.
KJRY's Santa Train heads west past the abandoned signal in Canton, IL. This is where the former CB&Q Yates City Line once crossed this one on a diamond, which still lies in the weeds just out of view to the right.
These mechanical signals have become rare, replaced by ones that are just lights. I like the old ones, though :-)
This army private sports an embroidered Signal Corps enlisted man's hat patch pinned unconventionally onto the left breast of his shell jacket.

The principal elements of the Signal Corps badge included a pair of crossed signal flags over the letters "U.S." in old English script. Although not officially adopted by army regulations, the enlisted man's hat badge differed from that of officers in that it did not have an encircling gold wreath enclosing the crossed signal flags, nor did it have a lit torch in the center of the crossed flags. Instead the enlisted man's badge included a field of 13 stars in the space above the crossed flags.
Because it was perceived as being in direct competition to the Military Telegraph Service, the Signal Corps was constituted as a provisional body and not as a permanent branch of the U.S. Army and the use of identifying insignia did not come about until late in the war. Officially, the Signal Corps did not receive permanent status until 1866, a year after the war was over. But by then, its field experience during the war had proved its worth.
Back to film, using Kentmere400 exposed at EI200. It, or I, am inconsistent wit regard to outcomes on tonality, but the grain holds up well with one stop reduction with Xtol stock. Will need to work with this more in the diversity of climate from CO to CA. Thanks to the flickeranians who keep inspiring us all to get out and capture.

This railway signal is just standing in the middle of the parking lot in front of Bathurst railway station here in NSW Australia.
Exit signals, Łupków direction, train station in Komańcza (Subcarpathia, Poland).
My grandpa used to have some beehives ca. 4 km from this place. When I was a child we often get a train to came here from Sanok to look after bees. I wish I could turn back the time and take such trip once more.
I'm not sure if the train station is used for passenger traffic anymore. I know there are some trains which are ending the route in Zagórz, about 30 km north from Komańcza.
I'm afraid only irregular cargo trains rearly appear here.
A place i've passed through many many times on the trains but until today have never been to and that is Culgaith on the Settle & Carlisle line.
Culgaith Station signal box opened Jan 1880 and was replaced on the 4th Oct 1908 this Midland Railway type 4a design.

Clouds drift over southeast Idaho's east twin butte like morse code. What's the message? Chime in, lets hear how you interpret the smoke signals.....
NS 13G with the Wabash heritage unit passes underneath the 10.8 signals at Haysville while 3 different signal indications are shown in the background for eastbounds.
Quiz time: Can you name the 3 signal indications?

"Woking signal box with its Westinghouse Brake & Saxby Signal Co. Ltd. Style 'L' Power Lever Frame was commissioned on the 27th June 1937, this signalbox remained in use for 60 years until its operation was take over by a Woking Signalling Control Centre scheme on the 22nd Aug 1997."

The junction station at St Georges d'Aurac Gare, as at many rural locations in France retained mechanical signalling in 2005 (it may still do so - can anyone confirm ?)
Class X4630 Caravelle units X4646 and X8435 approach a stop signal protecting the end of the passing loop while changing platforms
This North British Type 7 signal box has a Stevens GNP frame (32 levers, 9 still in use) and dates from around 1910
After a signal failure and level crossing failure, 1281 to Tailem Bend lifts its train from the home signal at Altmans road Mt Barker Junction into the crossing loop with GWA007,CLP14,CLP8,CM3314,FQ01 on the morning of 20-7-24
Class 47/4 47468 passes Llysfaen signal box with the 08:15 Holyhead to Crewe.
Llandulas station was opened at this location by the London & North Western Railway on 1st August 1862. Once a new station for Llandulas was opened further to the east, this somewhat remote station was renamed as Llysfaen. Both passenger and goods services were withdrawn in January 1931. The Saxby & Farmer signal box controlled access to the adjacent sidings used by the ICI quarry and was taken out of use in 1983. In the distance is the Penmaenrhos Tunnel and to the right of the locomotive construction of the North Wales Expressway could be seen in progress.

The impressive signal box at Aberystwyth, at the terminus of the Cambrian Railways main line. It was built by Signalling Contractors, Dutton & Co. and was to the Type 3 design with roofed landing. It opened in 1893 and contained a frame of 71 levers, soon extended to 78 levers to cope with expansion at the station. When the GWR absorbed the Cambrian Railways system after the 1923 Grouping, they installed a frame of 100 levers of their own manufacture. With rationalisation of the station layout, the box closed on 25th April 1982 and the line was then controlled by 'No Signalman Token' Regulations from Dovey Junction. This was superceded in 1988 by Radio Token Block controlled from Machynlleth. Note the fine concrete post lower quadrant signal on the left. There was a number of these concrete post signals on the former Cambrian Railways system and probably dated from the early days of GWR control. The upper quadrant bracket signal on the right, is much later and dates from the time after the London Midland Region assumed responsibility for the line.
This Derby Suburban 3-car unit had worked the 09:32 from Birmingham New Street via Stourbridge Junction to Worcester Shrub Hill. The empty stock was being taken back out of the station to be stabled pending the next allocated duty. Class 116 DMBS 53070 was nearest to the camera.
