I like the modernish box with heritage nameplate look Andy It was 60 years old when you took the photo but the design has lasted well, although short lived. It's now nearly 67 years old. The nameboard is original and was a popular type on the LMR at that time. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2021 Gillingham! I recall more than 40 years ago covering the SM post for a couple of weeks, while Ben Dyer was on leave. A heavy rainstorm in the afternoon meant water rushing down the hill and onto the tracks by the crossing, so we had the juice off for a couple of hours. The evening peak was a bit of a mess, but I did get a spot on local radio explaining the circs, and apologising for cold dinners. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now reduced in status to a crossing box. Sorry cannot turn the image on RM. Mike Wiltshire Can't help wondering whether the box is stopped from falling onto the line by the framework support near the camera or if the whole lot is leaning on the end wall of the fitness centre, Haven't seen anything that looks so over-engineered since they demolished the massively reinforced bridge that used to carry the A14 over the Brampton Road bridge over Huntingdon station. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
great central Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 A couple taken today, we were running Nottingham-Sheffield via Beighton due to engineering works. Won't be long for this world unfortunately, much evidence of resignalling, I'm told it may be going live in March. Beighton station box, although the station is long gone. Woodhouse junction Finally for here, Woodburn Junction, western access to Tinsley yard and the start point of the remnant of the Woodhead route as far as Deepcar. I have a couple of things to post in the ghost in the machine thread later. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Davexoc Posted January 24, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2021 One box I used to pass occasionally was Pinxton, but I never managed to stop and get a photo though. It actually passed me one day, I had to detour due to a road closure, and looking out of the factory I was working in was amazed to see the box go by, on the back of a lorry. That was the day it was removed and transported to Barrow Hill, so I might still get a photo yet.... 2 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Old Bruce Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 More SE Division boxes from 1989. These may be the last SE ones for a while until I have used up what I have already scanned and done some more. There's still plenty to go at from other areas though.
