Here's a before pic of #2 for reference.
A railroad signal relay in a pretty bad state. The glass is cloudy, the terminals are corroded and the entire thing is covered in decades' worth of dust and grime.

I like to restore vintage railroad signal relays and would absolutely dedicate an entire cabinet to them if I had the room. For now I just keep 2-3 of the nicest ones I've come across.
An old railroad signal relay. It has a plastic base with metal terminals and black coils sticking out of the top. An old railroad signal relay. The base is round and encased in glass. A very old inspection tag can be seen. Terminals and black coils stick out of the top. An old railroad signal relay. It is cubic in shape. Each side has a glass window.

A scene at late dusk. Railroad tracks in the foreground, some sort of tank with large pipes coming out of it in the middle, and an old white house in the background. Some trees frame the scene, while a lone street light on a utility pole casts a warm orange glow.

Using GPS to map my walks and bike rides motivates me to get out more. It's fun putting in the work and having your map look like this

2.4 miles around a local lake tonight
A diving board on a lake at dusk. There is what passes for a mountain around here in the background and lights from houses on the waterfront. The diving board is lit up by a passing car, and the entire frame is vaguely obscured by the chain link fence I shot through.

Peak pandemic Jersey City on Arista EDU 400 4x5, one of the worst films I've ever used. It has its charms, though.

The deck of a ferry. Chairs are on the right, with the ocean to the left. In the background is a blurry figure... could it be a ghost? No, it's just some person. The deck of a ferry looking out towards the ocean. Some chains form a barrier to keep people from falling off. A spotlight, idle, points towards the sky.
