Semaphores
66131 passes through Wrawby junction working the 6H77 Immingham to Drax power station loaded biomass hoppers. The shot was taken from a foot crossing on the Brigg line which afforded a different view of the junction looking east towards Barnetby East signal box. Wrawby signal box is out of view on the left. Sadly, only a few more operational months remain for these semaphore signals as a result of the Network Operating Strategy where all signalling in the UK will be controlled from 12 railway operating centres bringing signalling into the 21st century. This will mark the end of an era for this Victorian technology.
