Southern Railway - Over the Points - illustration by Victor Reinganum - Three Bridges resignalling, 1932
'Over the Points' was a small quarterly magazine issued by the pre-nationalisation Southern Railway of England and handed out to holders of first class season tickets. It is of exemplary production, set and printed at the Curwen Press, who at the time were amongst the foremost printers around, and the look and feel of the periodical oozes Curwen's attention to detail. The vast majority of the line illustrations were undertaken by Victor Reinganum, in a very abstract style, typical of his work.
This is from an article about the resignalling of the Three Bridges section of the Brighton main line in 1932 and shows one of the lever frame 'boxes that were abolished as part of the scheme.
