Forgotten Semaphore.
A semaphore signal stands forlorn and forgotten on 1 June 2021. Located on the northern end of Howe & Co’s Siding, it once had two arms for controlling shunting movements from the headshunt (I’m assuming) to the private sidings or the B.R. down & up goods line. The wires to pull them are severed and the structure awaits its demise while nature quietly engulfs the track that it once controlled. When I returned here a year later the signal had gone.
158910 - forming 2H12, Northern’s 0748 from Leeds Carlisle - passes the scene, heading for Carlisle.
