Former interlocking home signal at Sidnaw, MI. Used to control movement eastbound on the former DSS&A/Soo Line across the former Milwaukee Road, now E&LS route to Ontonagon. Taken September 1997 and scanned from a slide.
The 12.01 CAR - NCL, formed of a brace of 142s is about to pass the signal box at Bardon Mill.
The box is locked out with all pegs in the "off" position.
This single story signal cabin on the York to Harrogate line at Cattal station controls the level crossing with manual gates and the single line section towards Knaresborough as well as the double track section towards the next station eastbound at Hammerton.
This North Eastern Railway type S5 box was built circa1892 and has a reconditioned McKenzie & Holland type 16 frame dating from 1934.
The up home signal at Berry is not long for this world, with works to remove it occurring only a short week after this shot was taken. Replaced with LED colour light signals, the humble semaphore is finally fading into history in NSW.
This is my vintage Federal Signal Model PA20A-2E electronic siren amplifer.
Known as the "Interceptor", it was Federal's "top of the line" and manufactured from the early sixties until the mid eighties.
It was equipped with "Radio" (this would broadcast two-way radio traffic over the external speaker), "PA" (public address function), "Manual" (which allowed short bursts of the siren using the button on the lower left of the control panel), "Wail", "Yelp" and "Hi-Lo" (mimics the sound European emergency vehicles made) tones.
The 2E variant, shown here. was produced in the early-to-late '70's and had a higher pitch to it's tones than earlier versions (earlier "PA20" models produced in the mid-to-late '60's did not have the "Hi-Lo" tone, instead, they had a steady tone identified as "Alert" on the dial. "Hi-Lo" replaced "Alert" with the introduction of the "PA20A" models).
You could also create different (and non-factory intentional) tones by moving the selector switch between the tones printed on the dial. Anyone who ever saw "The Blues Brothers" will remember the "tweedle" tone the Chicago PD cars were making in the climactic pursuit scene. That was made by moving the selector knob between "Wail" and "Yelp"
Chappel Railway Museum, Essex:
I think this might be the signal box, but to me it's just a great photo of an interesting railway building.
Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria, and like most sizable cities in Europe, it has a high frequency of both suburban and intercity passenger rail traffic.
In this scene, we see some relatively-new departure signals at Salzburg Hauptbahnhof, using modern light-emitting diode (LED) illumination.
Austrian signaling follows German principles, and the two nations share similar aspects and indications. In parts of the world with German-inspired signaling, the home and distant components of a signal are often separate as we see in this example. The top unit is the home indication – what the train must do now, and the bottom unit is the distant indication – what the train can expect at the next home signal.
At left, the red indication indicates Stop. The distant signal is extinguished in this case.
On the signal in the center, the indication on the top unit displays green over yellow, indicating Frei mit 40 km/h, which means "Proceed at 40 km/h (25 mph)."
The distant signal below showing two diagonal green lights indicate Hauptsignal frei, which means that the next home signal displays Proceed. If the distant board displayed two yellow lights in a horizontal line, the indication would be Vorsicht – "Caution; the next signal displays Stop.
In North American route signaling terms, the home and distant signals at center would be displaying Diverging Clear where the maximum authorized speed through the divergence is 25 mph.

My first attempt at the multi-exposure HDR technique using exposure bracketing on my trusty Kodak DX7630 point-and-shoot camera and Photomatix software.

Ramsbottom Station signal box 7 signal (Down Home) protects Bridge Street level crossing with the signal box and 10 signal (Up Home) visible beyond. Saturday 18th February 1984
Ramsbottom Station signal box is a London Midland and Scottish Railway Type 11c design which opened in 1938 fitted with a 40 lever Railway Executive Committee frame, replacing Ramsbottom South, Ramsbottom Station and Ramsbottom North Sidings signal boxes. The box was reduced to a non block post controlling the adjacent level crossing only on 4th June 1972 and it closed on 5th December 1980 along with the Castleton to Rawtenstall single line. Eventually ownership passed to the East Lancashire Railway who reopened it on 17th November 1990
The box carries a British Railways London Midland Region maroon enamel nameplate, and 7 signal is carried on a London Midland and Scottish Railway designed all-welded stem right-hand bracket

A set of signals stands guard on the Canadian National, former Illinois Central, in Pesotum, Illinois. The double-headed signals are for northbound trains and give a hint of what indication may lie ahead in Tolono where the CN crosses the Norfolk Southern (former Wabash)
The GWR signal box at Hereford is still in use.
It's appearance has changed a bit due to the installation of modern PVC framed windows.

Set of 4 signal box repeaters from Preston No. 4 cabin on the former LNWR. These instruments were used to indicate the condition of signals, weight bars and ground dollies to the signalman in the cabin who, for various reasons (smoke, fog etc) could not see the end result of pulling the lever. They would have been afixed to either the instrument shelf or as was the case with these ones, on a short bracket behind the corresponding lever.
