Thanks to Sentinel and Johnmoly for your replies. There are many hundreds of railway books out there, so it's very difficult to narrow the choice down. Many seem to concentrate on particular lines, or regions or Britain; others are too technical or detailed for the limited knowledge I possess. But I have ordered a copy of "The Railways: Nation, Network and People" by Simon Bradley, which seems to be very well thought of, and I found a good article on semaphore signalling on Wikipedia, so together with this excellent forum of yours I should be able to fill the gaps in my learning!
