Steps
At Banbury Junction signal box, on a wintry afternoon. This used to be one of the busiest boxes on the GWR/WR serving the main line, yards and the GC junction along the Banbury Branch but eventually only the running lines to the north remained and it was decommissioned in 1981. There used to be five altogether and the last two were eliminated last year so now there is none left.
Technical stuff: Taken on Kodachrome using an OM2 and a 28mm wide angle lens, I have corrected the lens distortion.
I used to like coming here on a winter's day and more views can be found in the album "Signalling".
