Semaphores
As the light fades, 60079 heading an oil train slowly passes one of the finest sights of semaphore signals still in use in UK today but not for much longer. Dominating the scene are the handsome LNER single arm and bracket signals seen at Wrawby Junction, Barnetby, in Lincolnshire. The impressive signal box, which controls the confluence of 3 lines, is the largest single manned signal box in UK but sadly this Victorian technology is scheduled to go in December as a result of the Network Operating Strategy where all signalling in the UK will ultimately be controlled from just 12 railway operating centres. The freight working is the 6E59 Kingsbury Oil Sdgs to Lindsey Oil Refinery empty oil tanks.
