British Pathé is a newsreel film archive. Thought you might enjoy this selection:

The Engine Driver (1947, b&w, silent) - from London to Manchester. Not much signalling but a charming movie.

LNER Liverpool Street Station (1946, b&w, sound) - lever frames & phone calls

Railway School (1940, b&w, sound) - railway school for army recruits during the war.

Railway Signal School (1958, colour, sound) - Waterloo station and Clapham Junction

Railway Signals (1953, b&w, sound) - demonstrates a safety warning invention

Signal Box (1948, b&w, sound) - Waterloo Station

Signal Women (1943, b&w, sound) - Saughall, near Chester, Cheshire

Signals! (1936, b&w, sound) - Brighton signal box

The Fog Fellow (1933, b&w, silent) - a dispenser for detonators!

The Railway Today (1960, colour, sound) - Canterbury control room

Underground School (1955, colour, sound) - LU Training Centre, Lambeth, London.
original / cleaned negative

Wealth Of The World - Transport (1947-1951, b&w, sound) - postwar modernization of transport
Reel 1 / Reel 2

Note: These are all previews, many of which have been truncated, but plenty of interesting sequences nonetheless.
