A Copenhagen S-tog (suburban train) is paused at the Dybbølsbro station in Copenhagen, Denmark. This train is operating on the "B" line, and originated at the north suburb of Farum. Just minutes earlier, the train departed København H (Copenhagen Central Station) after having served several other stops in the north suburbs and in the central part of Denmark's capital city. The train will terminate in the western suburb of Høje Taastrup.
Dybbølsbro is served by the "A", "B", "Bx", "C", and "H" lines, which constitute all of the S-tog lines that pass the station. Intercity trains to the west and south also pass Dybbølsbro without stopping.
The lokfører (train driver) is staring intently at the closed circuit TV monitor that allows him to supervise the boarding and disembarking of passengers – no doubt eager to maintain on-time performance.
Most of the lines on the S-tog network run at 10-minute intervals from early morning until mid-evening, when the headway between trains becomes a still-respectable 20 or 30 minutes, depending on the route.
The two diagonal yellow lights on the signal make up a "Conditional stop" aspect, which is unique to the S-tog network. The indication is "Proceed according to cab signal." Trains without cab signals must stop to obtain authority to continue.
After as S-tog train passes this signal, the indication switches to "Stop". Assuming a signal for a following train has been requested, the signal will return to "Conditional stop" after the leading train departs the interlocking, and has traveled braking distance from a following train.
The signal with the diagonal line of lights is a direction indicator, showing that the train is diverging toward the right, which is the route to Høje Taastrup. The indicator would be pointing toward the left for either of the two routes to the south suburbs – an "A" train to Solrød Strand or an "E" train to Køge.
The sign labeled Skelbæk denotes the name of the interlocking that protects the junction. The arrow points to the track it governs; Danish signals are ordinarily located to the right of the governed track. The speed limit for either route is 30 km/h (roughly 19 mph).
The era of wayside signals on the Copenhagen S-tog network came to an end in late September 2022 with the commissioning of the final stage of installing Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) on the entire S-tog network, a project that began in 2016.
Here is a map of Copenhagen's S-tog network, and here, one can find a timetable the timetable.
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.

British Railways Type 4 1Co-Co1 class 45/1 diesel-electric locomotive number 45144 ROYAL SIGNALS of Tinsley Traction Maintenance Depot approaches Collyhurst Street signal box at Miles Platting in Manchester on the Up Fast line with a Trafford Park Freightliner Terminal to Greenock Freightliner train (4S57). 18:20, Friday 1st May 1987
(1/250, F5.6)
Note, 45144 was built at British Railways’ Crewe works in September 1962 as number D55, and was named ROYAL SIGNALS without ceremony at Derby works on 30th June 1965. It was renumbered 45144 in week commencing 2nd February 1974. It derailed in Malago Vale carriage sidings on 21st December 1987 and was moved Bristol Bath Road Traction Maintenance Depot, being withdrawn the same day and stored until sold for scrap to Vic Berry Limited. It arrived at Leicester on 8th February 1988 where it was cut up in July 1988

We're at Mestre station looking toward Venice. This signal governs departing movements from station track three. The red over yellow aspect indicates that the route is clear, but a reduction of speed is required. Furthermore, the next signal displays a stop indication. The basic indication is quite similar to the North American Diverging Approach.
The speed of the divergence was indicated at the preceding signal, and is 30 km/h (25 mph) in the absence of advice to the contrary. The horizontal line to the left of the main signal upgrades the divergence to 60 km/h (37 mph). The "1" to the left of the main signal corresponds with a specific destination shown in the timetable. The train's driver thus knows not only the speed at which he can safely travel, but where the train is routed. Here, the "1" indicates that the train is routed to the linea Ponte Nuovo – the line over the new bridge, as opposed to the linea Ponte Vecchio – the line over the old bridge.
Mouse over the notes on the image for more information about the signaling.
I've also uploaded an image of the signal on the adjacent track (track 2).
WWI-era Signal Corps soldiers spelling 'HELL'...apparently no one in the background wanted to volunteer for the "O".
Typical British signal box but not based on any one in particular.
Complete with levers, control panel, radio, faux switching mechanism on the lower floor and most importantly a mug of TEA!
Originally I designed it to go with the Winter Toy Shop etc so it had snow on the roof, Christmas lights and icicles. I will probably convert it next Christmas.
Designed in LDD and bought for my birthday by my wife.
Passing the now defunct signal at Orston Lane Crossing is 60056 with 6E82 12.16 Rectory Jn to Lindsey Oil Refinery empty tanks on a dull Thursday 17th Decenber 2015.
Recent resignalling work has opened up this view. Pity the bracket signal has lost it's arm as a part of the resignalling work. Nearby Bottesford West signalbox closed just under 3 weeks previously along with Bingham 'box. Signalling was transfered to the Netherfield Jn panel at Derby IECC.

Canterbury East Signal Box, 14 October 2025. Built 1911 by the South Eastern & Chatham Railway to one of their standard designs but raised on steel supports to improve visibilty. It is the only SECR signal box remaining.
Moreover, rather surprisingly, the box was fitted with a London & Chatham Railway lever frame dating from 1878, one of only two such frames still extant. It is Grade II listed. Unfortuately, the box is in dreadful condition and the wooden staircase giving access to the cabin seems to have been removed, presumably because it was rotting away.

Alston signal box is a North Eastern Railway (NER) type S5 structure that originally stood at Ainderby rebuilt on a new brick base here at Alston in 1991 the box contains a 21-lever McKenzie & Holland frame.
Here 4 wheel battery electric locomotive No 21 'Carlisle' built by Clayton for Metronet Rail/Transport for London, is captured bringing in the ecs for the 10.30 Alston-Slaggyford (11.05) service on the South Tynedale Railway.
The South Tynedale Railway is a preserved 2ft narrow gauge railway and at 875ft is 2nd second highest after the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway.
The line currently runs from Alston (Cumbria) to Slaggyford (Northumberland) which is 5 miles long and runs along the southern section of the trackbed, of the former 13 mile Haltwhistle to Alston Branch Line which was closed by British Rail on the 3rd May 1976.

The Somerset & Dorset Type 1 box at Cole was situated a the south end of the up platform. The wooden structure opened in 1879 and contained a Steven & Sons Tappet frame of 14 levers including 3 push-pull levers, controlled the entrance to the small goods yard situated on the down side and two mains crossovers. The goods yard closed on 5th April 1965, the box following on 31st May 1965.

On one of my walks out to the Iroquois river bridge along NYC's former Egyptian line as a child, I snapped this shot of the southbound distant signal to Kentland (Signal 60S) on June 2nd, 1984. I came back here as an adult and stole the number plate. View looks south towards Kentland.
In the NYC days, this was the southbound main track and the northbound was at left. Also, at left were 2 or 3 leads that ran into the water / coal facilities that were here and existed at left in the distance.
