Delude Retreat Indemnify Prevaricate Squander

Don't get over-excited. Our 'photo quiz' is not a competition. We can't afford a prize!

Every picture tells a story - or so they say - and, each month, we'll try to find one which has you scratching your head. We'll ask who, what, where or when, and include the answer as part of the next update.
This month's picture...

It's all clear on the Down but which remarkable piece of infrastructure will the next train encounter 50 yards ahead of this signal?

The answer to last month's quiz...

In the foreground is an axle counter head, with its yellow connection box in the background. These devices are common on the West Coast Main Line and are now being installed on other routes, much to the anguish of some S&T types.

Nothing metallic must go within 30cm (1 foot) of the head otherwise it thinks it's detected an axle. Clever!
