Signal_Ethique_Montagne de la Serre (Le Crest)
Par Arnaud HUART
[(Français), France]
Un signal dans le paysage comme marqueur mental...
>>> Oeuvre
Signal_Éthique apparaît comme un repère visible de jour et de nuit. L'oeuvre, verticale, est composée d'un ensemble de strates de bois, d'un attique ajouré et d'une ouverture en pied qui rappellent l'architecture d'un phare. La composition suggère une lecture de l'oeuvre vers l'intérieur et une projection de celle-ci dans le lointain.
La verticalité de l'oeuvre permet de capter la lumière. Cette lumière zénithale traverse une feuille de polycarbonate et propage une lumière laiteuse. Cette ambiance est également travaillée par la lumière extérieure, indirecte, qui entre au travers de l'attique ajouré. Ainsi, ces deux sources lumineuses complémentaires offrent une clarté intérieure évolutive au rythme de la journée.
Le visiteur est donc invité à entrer dans l'oeuvre où il règne une ambiance spirituelle qui invite à la pause, à la contemplation ou à la méditation. L'artiste souhaite ainsi amener le visiteur à reconsidérer l'idée du temps, loin de celle imposée par l'homme.
A l'image d'un phare ou d'une tour de guet, deux projecteurs solaires sont disposés à l'intérieur afin de marquer le paysage de nuit et suggérer la vie à l'intérieur. Tel un indicateur lumineux, Signal_Éthique suscite le souvenir chez ceux qui ont déjà découvert l'oeuvre et crée la curiosité chez les autres...

Instructions to train crews for operating the simple signal frame at Tully, Queensland.
Knowing that many of the "Lander" air conditioned cars were nearing 50 years of age, and that the Sunlander might cease running within a couple of years, in 2011 we booked a trip from Brisbane to Cairns in "Queenslander class".
The former signal cabin at Peterborough which was built as part of the standardistation project in the late 1960's, now unused. January 2008
Newly installed replacement traffic signals at the intersection of Bourke and Swanston Streets, Melbourne. At the time of this photo these were the only set of Swarco signals in the city area.
Close-up of the base of the signal pole. I looked for markings relating to CGW, but short of the number on the base (which looks like 14880), I found none that I could see. Notice, however, the upper right of the base. The metal has been broken off, so whatever knocked this pole down did it with significant force.

Also the single green is at the top.
The speed indicator may also display other numbers, e. g. from 5 to 16.
Awre signal box (SO691072), disused since 1973 (when signalling was centralised at Gloucester) at the junction of the South Wales line and the Forest of Dean Central Railway, a 'pointless' line running from Awre Jn to Howbeach Colliery literally in the middle of nowhere (SO639088). Between here and Gloucester, signals are controlled by Gloucester box; westwards to Lydney and beyond is controlled from Newport, bar a small area still controlled by Lydney box for the level crossing there. The box, altho' not looking its best, is kept in reserve for use in an emergency should the box at Lydney fail. Said box at Lydney is, I understand, due for closure sometime soon? Awre box opened in 1909, replacing an earlier one originally sited opposite.
Taken 28/02/18 and some notes found on the internet:
"Portsmouth Harbour signal box with its Westinghouse Brake & Saxby Signal Co. Ltd. Style 'L' Power Lever Frame was opened by the Southern Railway on the 1st June 1946. It was built to the Southern Railway Type 13 design and was fitted with a 47 lever Westinghouse 'L' frame (which was part of a 143 lever frame (frame number 93) purchased by the Southern Railway as a standby frame in case of war damage). 47 of the 143 Standby frame levers were utilised in 1946 after the station and layout were rebuilt due to war damage.
It replaced two boxes, Portsmouth Harbour signal box which was destroyed by aerial bombing in 1941 but was not officially closed and Portsmouth Harbour signal box, a temporary box opened on 21st August 1941 to replace the bomb damaged box.
Portsmouth Harbour signal box was closed on 21st April 1968 and was used an office and a relay room for Portsmouth power signal box. After closure the lever frame was moved to the school of signalling at Clapham Junction. The building was retained as a relay room for the 1968 Portsmouth NX signalling scheme which was operational until December 2006"

The signal box briefly re-opened with hand signalling following serious problems with the 2006 Portsmouth re-signalling scheme. The Signal box closed for the second time at the end of 2007 when Havant ASC was eventually commissioned.
An unfortunate encounter between a fruit bat and some power cables. The shock left him somewhat ... viagrafied.
See it in situ here.
I guess this box once had some architectural merit, now it is no doubt larger and more comfortable for the incumbent but it does look a pigs ear devoid of any real character.
Indeed the photos contained on this thread show the box did at one time have a more pleasing appearance.

The height of the British summer,18th July 2012, saw me and my eldest set off from Nottingham for an Everton pre-season friendly at Dundee. What could go wrong ? Bhy the time we got to Edinburgh at lunch time the evening fixture had already been called off due to a waterlogged pitch !
I had arranged to visit my ex signal school colleague at Tay Bridge South where he was working the afternoon turn so I carried on regardless and pulled in two other boxes on the way.
These are the very grey images from that afternoon.
A visit to the East Anglian Railway Museum.
Chappel Signal Box - the one near the platform currently in use was open for members of the public to go in and try using the levers. Don't worry, they are no longer connected to the network so they don't affect the points when I tried one of them.
The East Anglian Railway Museum is located at Chappel and Wakes Colne railway station in Essex, England, which is situated on the former Great Eastern Railway branch line from Marks Tey to Sudbury. Services on the Sudbury Branch Line are operated by Abellio Greater Anglia.
The museum has a wide collection of locomotives and rolling stock, some of which are fully restored, three are converted into Thomas, Percy and Toby replicas while others are undergoing repair and restoration. The Restoration Shed was built in 1983–4, before which most work had to take place in the Goods Shed or in the open. On event days, steam or diesel train rides are operated over a short demonstration track.
The museum also plays host to three popular annual events: the Winter Beer Festival held each February, the Cider Festival held each June, and the Summer Beer Festival held each September. During the festivals, additional late-evening trains on the Sudbury Branch Line allow festival-goers to return home by train subject to provision by the train operation companies. There are no moving exhibits during the festivals, although train carriages are usually open to sit in and drink, with one wagon doubling up as The Shunters Arms at the summer festival.
The museum was originally formed as the Stour Valley Railway Preservation Society on 24 September 1968. The SVRPS was established at Chappel & Wakes Colne Station in December 1969 after a lease was obtained from British Rail to use the vacant goods yard and railway buildings, including the station building. The first public steam day took place three months later.
The goods shed and station buildings were quickly restored; with a workshop being set up in the goods shed to enable maintenance and restoration work to be undertaken on the rolling stock.
The Stour Valley Railway Preservation Society was renamed to The East Anglian Railway Museum in 1986 to confirm its focus on representing railway history of the Eastern Counties rather than just operating trains. The museum gained charitable status in 1991 (Registered Charity No. 1001579) and became a Registered Museum in 1995.
Since 2005, the museum has had a greater emphasis on interpretation and display facilities, a large variety of events take place each year to raise funds to support the museum's activities.
Chappel Signal Box is believed to have been built in 1891.
This signal box controlled Chappel section to Marks Tey, and Bures and Colne Valley Junction to White Colne.
This signal box was derelict when the museum took up the tenancy of the site in 1970 and was restored to non-operational condition by members.

I'm an amateur trader, and this platform is helping me so much. I know that sometimes starting to trade Forex signals may be confusing, but I've been feeling that… with Tools trades I'm starting to clearly “playing” this game. We all know that forex its complicated and it is a risk that we take in every investment, that's why we have to take it seriously. This platform is so well-organized and for me, it is simple to use. I can find trading strategy articles, specialized analyzes, and the most new articles; I can also consult, very interesting financial reports that makes you grow in this area.
I have been reading some peoples experience’s and the probability of scam and so high, that’s why I was so skeptical at first that even refuse to used the paid platform, but its going well so far. Other thing that’s so good about it (sorry if am I sound like a fan girl) is that they have professional customer supports, in my experience they look ready to answer questions or solve problems everytime of the day.
So, in my experience, toolstrades are doing that I take better and wiser decisions, until today they have never made a wrong prediction. If you learn a new way to take advantage of this platform, let me know.
CSX, NS and Amtrak shared trackage at Boylan in Raleigh North Carolina. No trains while I was there. Scanner said there were supposed to be a couple. But...Guess if Mr. Peabody and Sherman were around we could set the way back and see some steam...
45144 'Royal Signals' at London St. Pancras at 09:00hrs on the 3rd of November 1987
With the original nameplate removed, staff at Tinsley TMD painted it back on
At this intersection, the left turn signals dominate the intersection. IMHO, its a bit of an overkill. Notice the case street signs. This is at PA 100 @ PA 113 (Uwclan Ave) in Uwchlan Township.
The signal box on the up platform of Flint station on 14 July 1977. Unlike most of the other boxes on the Chester to Holyhead line, this appears to be of LMS, rather than LNWR design. It was demolished in 1990 and was rather tidier at it's demise than as seen here!

Wansford Signal Box is just outside Wansford Station. It was built in 1907 by the London & North Western Railway and is one of the largest preserved signal box in its original location.
The signal box and the railway are part of the Nene Valley Railway who where hosting their Annual Autumn Steam Gala while I was there. In my photograph you may have noticed LNER A4 Gresley Pacific 4-6-2 No.60009 Union Of South Africa running tender first around the loop before the locomotive begins her duties for the day.
I captured this image with my Panasonic G7 on the 16th September 2017.
Taken 25/02/15; The signal box is still standing, but I understand it was taken out of use on the weekend of 14th/15th February 2015.
