Class 70, 70007
General Electric Powerhaul Freightliner 'Fugly Betty' Class 70 locomotive 70007 heads the daily 10:28 Freightliner 4M88 Felixstowe South- Crewe Basford Hall intermodal southbound through Chelmsford on the Great Eastern Main Line in Essex (UK).
The caged signal device on the left is called a 'banner repeater' and these are positioned when the driver cannot see a forthcoming colour aspect signal. In this case it's for the down signal L717 at the other end of this platform (the up line) during bi-directional workings. The banner aspect is 'on' (the following signal is on stop/danger). When a banner repeater is 'off' (the following signal is on green/proceed) the display bar will be at 45 degrees.
