Almost forty years ago, yours truly climbed a signal at Laurel Run, Pennsylvania to check a possible photo angle, and my cousin, Bob Markle, recorded the deed. Where did that 21-year-old go?

A mix of fog and bushfire smoke fill the jamison valley on sunrise in the beautiful Blue Mountains, Australia.
With Bewdley South signal box to the rear of the train. The immaculately finished and well presented C.B. Collett designed 4-6-0 Hall class locomotive No. 4930 'Hagley Hall', built by the Great Western Railway at their Swindon works during 1929, eases a short mixed rake of loose coupled freight wagons through the yard at Bewdley Station during a Matt Fielding photographic charter on the Severn Valley Railway.

Vintage network infrastructure at Sellafield on 20 May 2015 as Direct Rail Services 37611 and 37218 head to the stabling point and eventually that morning back light engine to Carlisle, having previously brought in two nuclear flasks from Carlisle, originating from Torness during the previous day. The Sellafield site perimeter fencing and border strip on the rising ground to the left eerily takes me back to my time spent in Berlin during the 'Cold War' in the early 1970s!

Curved balconies on Patrick Coman House, a social housing block on the Finsbury Estate in Islington. Designed by architects Emberton, Franck & Tardrew and completed in 1967.
The last wild Griswold in the state of Iowa that I'm aware of, protecting an abandoned Iowa Traction line at 15th St NE in Mason City.
For now, signal territory starts and ends between here and Merrill Road some 11-12 mile ahead. Furthermore, there is a gap of about 10 miles west between here and MP 180 where the next signal lies. In the coming year(s) with both slated grant work and CSX taking over, TCS will be extended from MP180 through to Leeds Junction and create actual controlled sidings, as well as control the ability to line the switch at Leeds Jct. For now, it's business as usual on Pan Am as they get underway out of Danville encroaching on the dark hours of the day.

Back before the COVID-19 stay-at-home quarantine began, I began organizing some of my older photos. This is one of the first photos I forgot about and edited.
One of the last train photos I took with my 2005-vintage Olympus C-60Z digital camera. It wouldn't survive much longer, forcing me to buy a second one from eBay. Fortunately, I had gotten my first DSLR (Canon Rebel XTi) not long before this, and I was still waiting on a memory card and camera bag for it before I could begin using it (back when 4GB CompactFlash cards were still really expensive).
Here we see BNSF H2 4544 going east through the CB&Q-era East Somonauk signal bridge in Somonauk, IL on the BNSF Mendota Sub. This signal bridge survived until 2011, but it's counterpart at West Somonauk was taken out in a derailment with Amtrak in 2006.

I have removed a modern streetlight which was annoyingly positioned just to the left of the loco. To many uprights next to each other! A little annoyed that the telegraph pole is not fully visible but at least there is an impression that the wires are not just hanging in mid-air.
One day while we were visiting Colorado, we went outside of town and took the tour of the Old Hundred Gold Mine. We were lucky to have a guide that worked the mines in the Silverton area and was very knowledgeable about the mining processes in this area. This is a picture of how the miners communicated to each other on the different levels of the mine. There is quite a list of different signals for them to memorize to know what was being requested.
This mine was founded in the late 1800s, but it was never profitable according to what I read. They did find gold here, but the ore ran out after a few years, and the mine changed ownership a few times over time. Now you can ride down into the mine in real mine car and see how things were done 100 years ago. I always thought these mines started at the top on worked down to the gold. Wrong, they started at the base of the mountain and tried to follow a vein up to the top of the mountain. They would use gravity to get the ore to fall down into the shafts where they could take the ore back down to be processed. Pretty dangerous work, but very profitable when it worked.
BNSF 7590 passes under the old Santa Fe signal bridges with a long stack train at Mp. 313 in La Plata, MO. on the BNSF Marceline Sub. (5-1-2013)
Now a thing of the past, I wish I had photographed these more and the others along the line for that matter.
Lightshow on barque Passat, Travemünde Week 2019
"Passat is a German four-masted steel barque and one of the Flying P-Liners, the famous sailing ships of the German shipping company F. Laeisz. She is one of the last surviving windjammers. (The name "Passat" is German for trade wind.)
Passat was launched in 1911 at the Blohm & Voss shipyard, Hamburg. She began her maiden voyage on Christmas Eve 1911 toward Cape Horn and the nitrate ports of Chile. She was used for decades to ship general cargo outbound and nitrate home. [...]
In 1957, a few weeks after the tragic loss of Pamir in mid-Atlantic and shortly after having been severely hit by a storm, Passat was decommissioned. She had almost experienced the same fate as the Pamir when her loose barley cargo shifted.
Passat was purchased in 1959 by the Baltic Sea municipality of Lübeck and is now a youth hostel, venue, museum ship, and landmark moored at Travemünde, a borough of Lübeck in the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein. [...]"

Another angle of the Blackpool North semaphores and No.2 signalbox, with the 1U65 12:40 to Manchester Airport departing on 7th February 2017 (156452 on the rear). The cast iron lamp post is a remarkable survivor, and there are also a number of them remaining in the carriage/DMU sidings on the up side. This scene will be totally transformed by the end of the year.

BNSF 6830 leads NS train 31N south on the NS Brooklyn District in Mitchell, IL. after dropping a pair of NS motors and some cars to the Alton & Southern. Seen here splitting the signals near Lenox Tower on its way to the TRRA Yard.
Something we see often but never really notice, as traffic signal maintenance takes place. Given an oil paint treatment.

View from inside the rebuilt 1861 Stockton & Darlington Railway signalbox at Kirkby Stephen East, HQ of the Stainmore Railway heritage railway, in the process of creating a museum dedicated to the famed Stainmore line and the North Eastern Railway. They say that when complete the box will be the oldest working signalbox in the world. Outside locomotive 2392, a NER 0-6-0 built in 1923, later to become LNER class J27. It's normally resident on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
Signal at the Genoa Museum. Was driving by in the morning when this possible juxtaposition caught my eye. Reversed course, parked and walked around to line up the shot.
An S-Stock unit approaches Liverpool Street with a H&C service to Barking.
The signal box was built in 1875 and was in use until 1956, when control moved to Farringdon. It originally had a 40-lever frame, but in 1902 a second mechanical 20-lever frame was installed. In 1954, they were replaced by a 15-lever Westinghouse miniature power lever frame. It was subsequently converted to an interlocking machine room, which is still in use today. The structure was given Grade II listing in 2013.
