Traffic signals both annoy and fascinate me. On the day-to-day basis, I absolutely hate them. My car seems to employ a hidden device that causes all signals to suddenly turn red right in front of me. People that drive with me have even commented on this. I almost never catch a green light. Some signals are especially troublesome; I can easily go 0-20 or more at some intersections, far worse than you might get with a coin toss. But I'm able to put all of that aside when I'm out walking. At that point the signals no longer dictate my movement and become more of a curiosity. I'm really taken with a childlike fascination watching the color lights, particularly when contrasted against the evening sky. I found myself standing under this signal the other night. This is the type that simply blinks on and off rather than go through a green, yellow, red cycle. A quiet summer evening with almost zero traffic afforded me the opportunity to stand in the road looking up at this sentinel light, flashing red in my direction, amber in the opposite. I could see the color cast down on the street in front of me, monotonously on and off, on and off. I could hear the corresponding click of a relay in an electrical cabinet on an adjacent pole, keeping time with the lights (actually controlling the lights but that's not as fun of a thought). Part of the fascination is seeing the cycle repeat endlessly, even though no vehicles are present. Don't know why this attracts me; it just does. I live not too far from a regular traffic light, the three-color changer, the only one in the entire village. When the trees are bare in winter, I can see it from my bedroom window even though it is some distance away. Sometimes I watch it at night, ever changing, yet somehow soothing. So odd to think that the next morning I will go right back to cursing the damn things. Love-hate.
Even in August 1984 this gantry was remarkable in having wooden signal arms.
I never understood how it escaped any sort of modernistion to metal signal arms!
Bad Signal Saturday on the West Point Route continued on the first day of February, with M210 following L844 and still having to run on restrictings from Loachapoka to Auburn. They're passing the intermediate in downtown with auto racks bound for the Kia plant at West Point, Georgia.
Shhh, don't tell anyone, but I took this while driving home last night - no cars behind so I could slow almost to a stop and as you can see, the light was red anyway.
My 18104 JALIANWALA BAGH Express take unscheduled halt at Chandrapura Jn ( CRP ) so with the help of Raj Kumar attempted night shot and it cam out very well with 6 Red signals.

A pair of Northern Class 150 units pass Blackpool North No2 signal Box on the approach to Blackpool North Station from Preston (2N94).
The distant signal for East Cuba had already been a non-searchlight for some time, but on this trip I noted that a 2nd head has been added for the westbound aspect - allowing for additional aspects can be displayed and also is a sure sign that the Searchlights at East Cuba have been replaced.

Pictures taken at the Drift Union Invitational 2014 at Penticton Speedway, British Columbia, Canada.
The four signals down by the loading area at Sandaoling. Unfortunately the train didn't come through the centre track so this is probably the least effective of the night pictures attempted this trip, but its included because this is such a 'Sandaoling' location.
This is Cark station possibly in 1952. By the stance of the chap on the platform the train is arriving and is stopping short of where he thought it would. Cark looks a lovely little country station with good buildings which have a glazed canopy, a substantial goods shed in the goods yard and a fine signal box.
42402 was built at Derby Works, it was a Fowler 2-6-4T and it entered traffic as 2402 on 20/09/1933. The loco was withdrawn 13/10/1962 and scrapped 11/03/1963. At the time of Peter's picture it was an 11B Barrow-in-Furness allocated machine

Signal du Bougès, which at 1,421m is both the highest point on the ridge and marks our highest point for the day’s walking. The grey clouds are an ominous sign of what was to come.

Having crossed over the Illinois River and passed the one-time crew change point at Chillicothe without stopping, a Willow Springs, IL to North Bay, California trailer train rolls through the "S" curve at the west end of Chillicothe Yard and past the signal bridges at the West Chillicothe control point.
Just a few hundred yards west of this point, the five engines will begin to pull their train of trailers for the San Francisco-Oakland area up the 1.1% grade up Edelstein hill and out of the Illinois River valley.
This train was symboled as the Z WSPNBY9 21L.
