Prudhoe signal box

Prudhoe signal box is an rather tall structure and pleasingly still controls a number of semaphore signals around Prudhoe station as well as the road crossing leading to nearby Ovingham.

 

The box is an NER N1 opened in the early 1870's and fitted with a 45 lever frame.

 

Here 156451 slows for the station with a Carlisle to Newcastle service.
