Electro-mechanical at Wath

The signalman relaxes in Elsecar Junction signal box, one of the ex-GCR ones at Wath Yards fitted with electro-mechanical short sliding levers instead of the old-fashioned lever frame. All this was swept away when the Manchester-Sheffield-Wath system was closed later in the year. 23rd June 1981.

 

Techy stuff: Olympus OM-2 with 28mm lens, Kodachrome 64, 35mm slide scan.
