for those all that miss or never seen the old signal arm semaphore, here at Argentina railway we have some that are still in use working with the new chinese CSR EMU´s
first video is at Coghlan junction, Mitre Line and the second is at Liniers workshop, Sarmiento Line
Both engines retired and presumably scrapped in 2007 & 2009 respectively. Same goes for the light aluminium CWB hoppers designed for light branch lines - nearly all of them ripped up now.
People take signals like these on the CPR at Eldon, Alberta for granted until an obsolete model starts to disappear. In the meantime they do their job around the clock in blizzards, scorching summer days 24/7/365.
A northbound UP manifest drops down the UP's Cascade line and is nicely framed by this SP signal bridge. Dispatcher 68 was nice enough to send us three freights (and Amtrak) down the hill in rapid succession into this beautiful morning light. The rest of the day was a bust, though.
The classic signal bridge was still guiding trains in 2005. It was removed during BNSF's program to modernize the CTC and to eliminate the need to operate "left-handed" east of Winslow.
The new LED signal is actually brighter, this is not just a photo effect. Somehow old 1841 didnt need a signal box to tell him how to think and lit up all day without a problem
The old Pirapora branch signal bridge at Corinto yard. Today only the main line still there. The switch to Pirapora branch was located about 2,000 meters forward.
