This illustration dates to the 1870s and shows the signal box on the North London Railway. The interior of a signal-box near an important junction or station is shown here, and we see here the numerous levers for working the points and the signals, each of these having a connection, by rods or wires, with the corresponding point or signal-post. The electric telegraph is now an important agent in railway signalling, and in a signal-box we may see the bells and instruments which inform the pointsman whether a certain section of the line is "blocked" or "clear." The signals now generally used on British railways are made by the semaphore, which is simply a post from which an arm can be made to project. When the driver of the train sees the arm projecting from the left-hand side of the post, it is an intimation to him that he must stop his train; when the arm is dropped half-way, so as to project 45 from the post, it is meant that he must proceed cautiously; when the arm is down the line i

These snow-ploughs are sometimes urged forward with the united power of eight heavy locomotives. The image here represents one of these ploughs cleaning the line, by throwing off the snow on to the sides of th
