    I'm guessing they can be whatever your creative interpretation of "Signals" is. Could be a lone signal in the middle of the desert somewhere, could be a train flying through an interlocking...just get creative!

    I think I'll actually be able to participate in this one, looking forward to it.

    I wonder what kind of signal action I can find in Great Falls? There's not much, to my knowledge....

    Doug is correct the challenge is about including a signal in your photo but it doesn't have to be specifically about the signal.

    I will also have the opportunity to enter this one as I will be working out on site tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to get a few shots.

    Great, been sunny all week and now a stupid front moved through...looks like a Sunday shot at best now.

    This really IS a challenge!

    So, 12:00 midnight Monday is actually one minute past 11:59 Sunday evening, right? Or can we take pictures all day Monday, too?

    EDIT: Nevermind, I just noticed last week's closed after 3am on Tuesday so that answers my question.

    Serenity at Rock Island Yard

    [​IMG]

    An early morning fog mutes the already drury winter landscape, sans a trio of red signals protecting trackage toward downtown Dallas. Alongside, a commuter trainset and a string of RDC's await potential assignment from their lair within Trinity Railway Express' Rock Island Yard.

    Sentinal of the rails

    Just a small position light signal. But it still protects trains. As far south as you could go on the L & I railroad.
    Near Louisville Union Station in Louisville,KY​
