SM42 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 One more from 2014 Moss on the ECML There is a little bit of an attachment to this one as way back in 1984, we stayed on a small 5 van caravan site at the pub (The Star?) just yards up the road from this crossing. The purpose of staying in such a place was Doncaster Works open day and dad had worked this into the family holiday and finding a site at a pub made him very happy, as he didn't have to drive back and near the railway made me happy A 14 year old me was very taken by this little box,( but no photographs from then as I was saving my 110 film for the open day) and returning in 2014 was glad to see it still there, a little altered in the interim it seems Andy 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach bogie Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Cinderland Crossing, near Altrincham/Manchester on the ex Skelton Jnc to Warrington line. The line had already been closed in 1985. The box is long gone and the line is under a retail park now. Mike Wiltshire 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Wiltshire The signal box was spelt Sinderland as seen on the box diagram which is in my collection https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/61212-signalling/page/3/&tab=comments#comment-857332 Edited January 5, 2021 by beast66606 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially the name was changed but I gather the name board was never altered . Google images came up with a shot with the name board on Flikr showing it as Cinderland. The cottage seen in the background is for sale and listed as Cinderland Crossing Cottage despite the area is Sinderland.

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted January 6, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2021 And it is still marked as Cinderland Crossing cottage on Google Earth despite there being Sinderland Lane and Sinderland Road nearby. Not really my area of interest but it rang a bell - quite close to Partington where the EMGS held some of its EXPO EM North events.

Popular Post Poor Old Bruce Posted January 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2021 Another mixed bag: Maesteg, South Wales, 9 Oct 1965 Rishton, between Blackburn and Rose Grove, 4 June 1968. Don't want to wander off topic but how's that for a train formation? Penistone Barnsley Junction, probably 25 Jun 1981 Dunford West, 25 Jun 1981 Torside, 25 Jun 1981 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted January 6, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Dunford West, above, would make a great modern image model - it has bags of character from the stonework and window design.

lmsforever Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The shot of Penistone with that Vauxhall Viva van outside brings back memories of when I had to drive one for a living .It was the worst vehicle I have ever driven the drivers seat caused my back to be damaged and I am still sufferring now and I drove the thing in 1974 .I still shudder when I see one!! 1 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM42 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Torside, with an Allegro. Ridiculed for a square steering wheel which nowadays seems quite common. Some really nice boxes there. I occasionally photographed more boxes back in the 80s but the trains always got in the way. Bowled Andy Edited January 6, 2021 by SM42 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOCJACOB Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 A little montage/collection of ex NER boxes. Some come with detail but most don't I'm afraid Filey 8/88 Hull Walton St 8/86 Driffield ? Melton Lane ? (possibly around time I managed to get to see locomotives and wagons at cement works) Hutton Cranswick late 86 Nafferton again late 86 (around this time worked in Beverley Westwood Hospital and also started noting some of the G T Andrews architecture buildings in the area) 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOCJACOB Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Couple of randoms and no idea of date Stallingborough and box didn't last that much longer as demolished and new one built before it fell over Hensall on Goole to Knottingley line no idea why I stopped here, seem to recall station was covered in old large enamel signs though?

SM42 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Stallingborough new box in 2014. Not bad really. Better than a Portakabin and looks to be opposite the site of the old box both in terms of the line and the road, Some of the more obscure boxes from the same, wider locale Pyewipe Road Crossing (what a name) Great Coates Sidings No 1 ( a real over the bridge parapet, camera above head, at arms length shot, hence the slightly odd framing.) Bet it was noisy when it rained Barrow Road Crossing Andy 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
