Year 2, Day 163. We were at the Burger Queen in Gonzales and I was trying to find a cell phone signal. We were in a cell phone blackout for about 50-60 miles.
4-aspect signal B244 is located at the south end of Platform 1 at Filton Abbey Wood Station. It is controlled by the Panel Box at Bristol Temple Meads.
September 2016:
It is now controlled by the Thames Valley Signalling Centre in Didcot and has a 'BL' prefix. I am unsure on what the number is.
Well, I've been out of St. John's for a couple of weeks now, and it has been longer still since I've been on a big photo walk. So I went for a big walk to Signal Hill and Quidi Vidi on my first day back in the city.
The CSX train engines pass underneath the signals bar. The Route 522 highway bridge crosses in the background, and the Potomac River is just behind the trees on the right.
From the sign:
"Trees with unusual shapes were often used by Indians as landmarks to identify important trails. This 300 year old Bur Oak (quercus macrocarpa) marked the northernmost point of the portage trail, which connected the Cuyahoga (whose coarse was once much closer to the tree) and Tuscarawas rivers. The Erie, Seneca, Shawnee, Ottawa, Delaware and Mingo tribes traveled to the Ohio River by this route. They removed their canoes from the Cuyahoga River here and carried them overland for eight miles--south to Summit Lake. Later, white settlers used the same signal tree to find their way between the rivers."
While Mom and I sat admiring this tree, a bald eagle circled high in the air above us. We watched until it flew off and became a dark speck in the clear blue sky.
Still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, Mom and I took a trip to Cuyahoga Valley to again see the fall color (sadly, not as extravagant as it could have been) and enjoy some time away from home.

MSE etched parts and several weeks of soldering work have finally paid off. I took this final picture to show the signal at its correct height and distance from the track. It also shows that both arms actually work!
Signal Hill's oil fields have been pumping oil since the 1920's, and pumping cash into the coffers of the tiny southern California city of Signal Hill, completelty surrounded by the sprawling city of Long Beach. The upper portions of the 300-plus foot hill are still pumping oil, while sharing the land with gated communities and expensive homes. There are no homes close to this area on the Northern slope, but these flowers have 'mysteriously' spread across the hillside.
Goxhill Signal Box, August 2011. Compared to the state of Barrow Road just up the line, this box looks in fine fettle.
