Diptera semaphore
<space=1em><b>Optical telegraph</b>
<space=1em>With the opening of railways in Russia, the question of ensuring safety and organizing traffic arose. At first, for this purpose, for example, on the Tsarskoye Selo railway, they used an optical telegraph.
<space=1em>Telegraph posts were located one or two miles apart. Signals were given by black balls during the day, and by red lanterns at night. They reported a stop in the train's movement, the need for only a reserve locomotive or with a crew.
<space=1em><b>Semaphore</b>
<space=1em>The development of the station network required a new system for regulating train traffic. This is how semaphores appeared. They were installed at the entrance to the station, on its exit tracks and on the sections. There were several types of semaphores: Max-Yudel, Ericsson, Lärtig, Siemens-Halske.
<space=1em>Some railways used English-type semaphores. They gave a permission signal for the train to move by lowering the wing. However, this system was abandoned: the wing could lower if it broke and let the train through.
<space=1em><b>How to read a semaphore</b>
<space=1em>Semaphores were single-winged or multi-winged. They were installed in front of the entrance switches to the station on the right side in the direction of the train. They were also used as passage switches, route switches, and for cover.
<space=1em>The semaphore wing faces away from the tracks, painted red on the working side and white on the back. The mast was painted black at <nobr>1 m</nobr> from the ground. The rest of it was painted half red and half white.
<space=1em><b>How the semaphore worked</b>
<space=1em>To give a light signal at night, the semaphore mast had a lifting mechanism consisting of a cable and a winch. The semaphore was driven by a system of cables that stretched to the control post. The post could be located either in the station building or in special places. To prevent accidental switching of the signal, there were protective locks on the control levers. They were opened with a special key.
<space=1em><b>An element of history</b>
<space=1em>Semaphores gave the railway a unique look. The appearance and wings of the semaphores were part of a whole world. One of them is presented in the Museum of Russian Railways.
<space=1em>The museum exhibits a semaphore made in <nobr>1950</nobr>. It was used for signalling on the road network from the mid-1930s to the 1970s. On some low-traffic sections of the railway track, semaphores are still in place.

Хронология:
<space=1em>In 1853, the "Regulation on Guardhouse Signals" was introduced simultaneously for the Petersburg-Moscow and Petersburg-Warsaw Railways. It provided for the introduction of a kind of optical telegraph. Paragraph 5 of this regulation stated: "Signals at guardhouses are given in two cases: to indicate that the train has left the station, and to indicate that an auxiliary locomotive is required from the nearest station to the train." <space=1em>The signal that showed that the train had left the station was given during the day by a black ball raised by 135 degrees, and at night by a lit lantern with red glass. The development of the network and the expansion of stations also influenced the development of signaling systems. Semaphores were installed as permanent signals at the entrance to the station, on the exit tracks of the station and on the sections. There were different designs of semaphores: Max-Yudel, Ericsson, Lärtig, Siemens-Halske. Some railways used English-type semaphores. Their distinctive feature was the permitting signal given by the wing lowered at an angle. This signaling system was quickly abandoned, since if the semaphore broke, the wing would lower and give permission for the train to move. Station semaphores were installed at low-traffic stations and sidings. They were installed opposite the station building between the tracks. The wing lowered down signaled that movement was permitted. <space=1em>The semaphore was manufactured in 1950. It was used for signaling purposes on the road network from the mid-1930s to the late 1970s. On some low-traffic sections, semaphores are still used.
