Green and Yellow lights with acceptor panel
A close-up study of the acceptor panel in the depot. It was a vital component to the running of what was an incredibly busy environment. It was the fail-safe method for admitting trains into the depot and back onto the system. A hand twisted a special castle-cut key which then triggered the appropriate train movements.
