A point that appears to be colour coded!

When i had been for my Jab

I noticed this point behind the tram stop

 

It appears to be half way thru a renewal, and I took a pic cos I had never seen a point so new but undressed as it were....

That will be new components for control of the point as control is/has switched to York ROC. It has replaced beighton Woodhouse and woodburn boxes.

Gone are the days when cranks etc. used to be red-leaded.

I read that as -'cranks etc. used to be red-headed'

 

But I suppose in these more enlighten time anyone can be a crank.

Twenty years ago, some S&T men decorated a set of points located in the Herne Hill area, painting and picking out the individual parts in red goid blue etc, it was just a prank, but some high-level manager spotted their handiwork and made enquiries,  it was only a prank but the prank grew legs and soon   embellished into a story of a "special trial of a n experimental maintenance regime for S&C",  cue awards / letters of commendation and reports and feature write ups and photographs in the house journal.  Another example of the railway saying "B*llsh*t Baffles Brains"

That was the motto of the 142 squadron in Sheffield train crew. Bovine excreta confoundus mentis IIRC. There was stickers made up with the motto on them.

Some time ago, during an archaeological survey of a Roman field system in the Peak District by mature students, attention turned to an 18th century field wall on Roman foundations. It zig-zagged down a slope at quite a regular 'wavelength' whilst its partner on the other side of the lane was ruler straight. After much discussion of theories including building it round now-gone trees, Kev the Postman came up with Rouane's Theory of Distracted Artisans. This roughly stated that one should never try to find too much logic in anything done by a gang of blokes, especially bored ones.
