Historical background

Railway semaphores were an indispensable part of railroad infrastructure in many European countries, such as Germany, Poland, Russia, and France. They acted as signals, regulating train movement and ensuring safety on the tracks. The most widespread were mechanical arm semaphores, which dominated stations and sidings from the late 19th century until the 1960s.
