Stalybridge signal box located by the Up Goods line at the west end of Stalybridge railway station. Friday 6th August 2010
Stalybridge No2 signal box was a Stevens & Sons/Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway type design fitted with a 70 lever Stevens & Sons frame which opened in 1885 in connection with the rebuilding of Stalybridge railway station. The signal box was renamed Stalybridge No3 in 1893 after new signalling and new signal boxes were built to improve the station's western approaches, and was further renamed Stalybridge No2 sometime by 1907 due to rationalisation and the closure of Stalybridge No1 signal box. A replacement 90 lever Stevens & Sons Glasgow New Product frame, manufactured at the London Midland & Scottish Railway Company's Irvine works, was commissioned on 21st May 1944. Resignalling on 6th November 1966 resulted in the closure Stalybridge No1 and Stalybridge No4 signal boxes with Stalybridge No2 signal box being renamed Stalybridge and controlling the whole of Stalybridge railway station and its approaches, the frame being reduced to 70 levers at the same time. An individual function switch was commissioned on 15th December 1984 controlling emergency replacement of SE101 signal which was installed on the Down Guide Bridge line in connection with the replacement of absolute block working by track circuit block working. The switch was was decommissioned on 16th April 1989 to be eventually reused for SE71 signal. On 13th May 1990 two intermediate block signal were commissioned on the down line between Stalybridge and Greenfield signal boxes. The Down Main Intermediate Block Home 2 signal was operated by 40 lever but the Down Main Intermediate Block Home 1 signal was numbered SE71 and operated as an automatic signal with an emergency replacement facility operated by a switch on the block shelf. The switch for SE71 signal was decommissioned on 5th April 1999 when the line between Stalybridge and Diggle Junction signal boxes was resignalled allowing the abolition of Greenfield signal box. At the same time a number of individual function switches controlling emergency replacement of SE101, SE103, SE104, SE105, SE106, SE107, SE108, SE109, SE110, SE111, SE112, SE113, and SE115 signal were commissioned in the new illuminated track diagram provided by First Engineering. The signal box was refurbished with uPVC cladding and windows in the early 2000s, and was closed on 27th October 2012 being replaced by signalling controlled from the Guide Bridge workstation in Manchester East Signalling Control Centre which was commissioned on 4th November 2012. The signal box was severely damaged by fire on 1st December 2012, the fire was reported by a passing train driver at 4:30am, and the remains were demolished later the same day

I used the new Topaz product Restyle on this image to manipulate the color tones. I like how it came out.
An Indiana & Ohio Railroad interchange job passing the signals at CP Clifton in the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio. Sporting both modern and legacy equipment, this control point is certainly one of a kind.

A high ceiling, as yet untainted by BRs push to fit all manual boxes with the lowered cheap polystyrene roof tiles - which although effective in warming the boxes, looked awful! Also present are the old tin light covers that you could spin around to any direction - unfortunately there never seemed to be enough light from them.
The signal box is a GWR design and was built in 1914. It worked to Wellington box until 2002 when that became absorbed by Madeley Junction (which itself was demolished when Wolverhampton PSB took over in 2012).
As well as the subsequent installation of various colour light signals it now works to the West Midlands SCC which was the final one in the "Russian Doll" effect when it took over Wolverhampton PSB in 2016.
The triple and double stack ground disc signals have since been reduced to single ones and the main semaphore section signal (no.90) with Severn Bridge's distant signal beneath was later converted into a colour light.
20th February 1990.

Fog Repeater Signal FR132 on platform 2 at North Weald Station on the heritage Epping Ongar Railway (EOR) in Essex (UK).
Fog repeater signals which have similar operating principles to banner repeaters on Network Rail are extensively used on the London Underground network to forewarn {or repeat) a driver of a forthcoming signal aspect.
As the name suggests these were originally designed for use in poor visibility, however they are now used to warn the driver of the forthcoming aspect when the actual signal is obscured or out of sight due to platform buildings, a curved tunnel etc.
In this case the repeater is for signal NW132 at the eastern end of platform 2.
This London 'Underground' fog repeater is a legacy of when North Weald Station was on the Central (tube) line from 1949 to 1994.
A Crosscountry Class 220 Voyager slows down for the next signal at Bournville with the 15:35 (16 late) 1V58 Edinburgh Waverley to Penzance. There wasn't much distance between this unit and the London Midland 323s in front; in fact, they were still in the station when this reached the old Cadbury's bridge, hence why a yellow signal is being displayed.
RD8048. The signal box at the Hollycombe Steam Collection which is just outside Liphook in Hampshire. It came from nearby Liphook station.
The Collection comprises steam operated fairground rides and traction engines. There is also a 2’ gauge railway and a standard gauge railway although the latter is currently out of use.
The Collection is well worth a visit.

No. 7812 Erlestoke Manor departing from Bewdley past the signal box and fine display of signals controlling the entrance to the station and yard.
And in this place, can you reassure me
With a touch, a smile while the cradles burning
All the while the world is turning to noise
Oh the more that its surrounding us
The more that it destroys
Turn up the signal
Wipe out the noise...
send out the signal deep and loud...
recieve and transmit...
signal to noise by peter gabriel ( selected lyrics )
as most of you know, i have an obsession with these images. i think it has something to do with my passion for words and communication more than anything else. these just stand out as a strong symbol and a little reminder to myself. i hope we all continue to
recieve and transmit.

This was actually at the Hilltop Park in Signal Hill, I didn't get to explore other parts of the area such as Panorama Promenade since i was overwhilmed with the sunset and the beautiful clouds hovering above Long Beach. It was very foggy or smoggy as expected in socal, but it was still a great view.
This was by far one of my favorite photops that i did by myself, listening to my ipod and just... chilled

exposure blending via layering.. didn't do too good of a job with the people in the picture, i was trying avoid the ghosting..

Signal Hill History:
The hill that the city is named after is 365 feet (110 m) above the surrounding community of Long Beach. Because of this height, it was used by the local Tongva Indians for signal fires that could seen throughout the surrounding area and even out to Catalina Island, 26 miles (42 km) away.
After the Spanish discovered Alta California ("Upper California," or what is now the state of California), Signal Hill eventually became part of the first large rancho grant to be allotted under Spanish rule in Alta California. The Rancho San Pedro (Dominguez Rancho) land grant exceeded 74,000 acres (300 km2) as granted to a soldier, Juan Jose Dominguez, who accompanied Junipero Serra, by Governor Fages through authority of King Carlos III of Spain in 1784.
Between 1913 and 1923 an early California movie studio, Balboa Amusement Producing Company (also known as Balboa Studios) was located in Long Beach and used 11 acres (45,000 m²) on Signal Hill for outdoor locations. Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle were two of Balboa Studio actors who had films shot on Signal Hill.
Before oil was discovered in Signal Hill, there were large homes built on the hill itself, and in the lower elevations was an agricultural area where fruits, vegetables, and flowers were grown. Many of the truck farmers were Japanese.

Once upon a time, N&W position lights were plentiful in west central Ohio. Bellevue was a paradise of interesting signaling, being blanketed with position lights of N&W (and originally PRR) heritage as well as Nickel Plate's matchless color lights on bracket posts.

Il mixer da regia hanno un notevole numero di canali che va più o meno dai 12 fino a mixer di 24-36 canali (fino a 48 ed oltre per le workstation da studio di registrazione), che permettono la variazione dei volumi, dei toni, del segnale audio presente su quel canale. Il mixer da regia permette inoltre di indirizzare una parte del segnale dei singoli canali verso eventuali effetti esterni, come delay, riverberatori, equalizzatori, ecc. I mixer da regia principalmente servono per regolare i volumi dei microfoni e per creare un'immagine stereo.
La qualità sonora di un mixer è data principalmente dalla qualità dei preamplificatori, dei filtri, dei fader (Il potenziometro, in questo caso detto a ' slitta ' serve per regolare il volume di ogni canale) dalla quantità di distorsione armonica totale, ovvero della misura in cui ogni dispositivo audio altera il contenuto in frequenza del segnale.
Small signal house build as a study in techniques and colours for a Landerbahn (small branch line) station I hope to realise.

Colour aspect lights ultimately replaced semaphores at Sandwich during May 1981. However the 1938 signal box remained, having supervised automatic lifting barriers since 1973.

Scan of a slide of the former B Box at Robertsbridge taken in 1994. I am assuming that this still stands as at the date of uploading (February 2022) but it is a long time since I've been to that neck of the woods. Some background from the internet:
"Robertsbridge Signalbox, on the SER main line to Hastings via Tonbridge and Wadhurst .... This station was, at one time, the junction station with the west end of the Kent & East Sussex Railway. This box is the sole survivor of the old Hastings line boxe .... Today it controls the line from north of Battle to north of Stonegate, working track circuit block with Tonbridge and Bopeep."

"As part of the mainline station complex, Robertsbridge signal box, originally Robertsbridge B has been on this site since 1894. It is still functioning until further upgrades to the network are likely to have those functions transferred."

Greenville Engineering staff install radar-based detectors to improve signal changes at Fire Tower Rd and Ashcroft Dr on Wednesday, November 2.
The radar-based detectors replace in-pavement loops that are prone to failure, and initiate signal changes more effectively when a vehicle approaches a stoplight.
