At and around Halberstadt, August 1991

More pictures from obvious and odd locations:

Home signal B on the line from Wernigerode with early-stop indicator (entering stub track 1), Halberstadt, August 1991

The following picture from Halberstadt shows a mechanical shunting signal for the cross-over in the middle of the platforms. One can also see a starting signal inside the station, a rare occurrence in Germany:

This can no longer be seen out there: A locomotive driver visits the telephone box near a signal to ask why the train is stopped there. When I took the photo, the signal had already been reversed to "clear". Unfortunately, I do not know the location of this signal:

Back to Wernigerode: Here is once more home signal A, standing against all rules on the opposite side of a small road:
