Ex-NER slotted post lower quadrant signal, Haxby
I came across this beautiful signal when on holiday with the family, and chasing the odd Scarborough Spa Express. Located between York and Scarborough, it was very tall to enhance long-distance sighting and a remarkable survivor from the pre-1923 era. It was clearly in good condition and cherished by the staff. Remarkably, it lasted until 1988 when the area was resignalled.
Techy stuff: taken with an OM2 on Kodachrome, with a polarising filter which turned the sky a lovely dark blue, and I have lightened so that it sits more comfortably with the other pictures.
