Multiple aspects

Limestone Hall is one of two crossings at Kirksanton, near Millom, that have manually operated gates and semaphore signals. Although a non block post, it is the only place in Cumbria that has three aspect semaphore signals (that is stop signals with operational distant arms below them) in both directions.

 

6C23, the 0942 Sellafield - Barrow Marine Terminal test train - headed by 68018+68005 with 68021 on the rear - approaches the crossing on 13 May 2016. On the left of the image, the down home (with Silecroft's distant below it) looks a little overwhelmed by the metalwork (modern standard fall protection) attached behind it.
