Dwarfed
142078 is dwarfed by the towering presence of Billingham signal box.
With the box due to close in 2018* and the pacers due for retirement at around the same time it's possible that this view will not be possible in a couple of years time.
There appears to be a lot of local interest in preserving the box and bridge which are local landmarks and finding some alternative use for them after the signalling responsibilities have been moved to York.

*In the end the box hung on until early 2021 when it was demolished along with others in the area as part of resignalling works.
