micknich2003 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Wilmington Outer Junction, Hornsea Branch Hull. The signalbox closed about the turn of the previous centuary, and the Hornsea Branch closed to passenger traffic in October 1964. The high level H&BRly, is of course still with us today. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 10, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hi, everyone. The East Riding of Yorkshire Council have posted a collection of old railway photo's on a Flickr account. They are free of copyright restrictions, under the 'No known copyright restrictions'. So I hope I may post a few here, acknowledging that are from The East Riding Archives. They show two views of Market Weighton Station and one of Londesborough Station, and are all, as far as I can see, from 1947. http://Market Weighton Railway Station 1940 (archive ref DDX1525-1-14) by East Riding Archives, on Flickr http://Platform at Market Weighton Railway Station 1940 (archive ref DDX1525-1-14) by East Riding Archives, on Flickr Londesborough Station, looking to Market Weighton: http://Londesborough Railway Station 1935 (archive ref DDX1230-2) by East Riding Archives, on Flickr Best regards, Rob. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 10, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2017 Thank you for your likes, Mick and Dave. Now I've just found another one of Beverley station, circa 1900. Same East Riding Archives source on Flickr. http://Beverley Railway Station - original canopy 1900 (archive ref DDX1525-1-10) by East Riding Archives, on Flickr Best regards, Rob. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Dread Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 A feature that may escape most people is the "main line" wing rails on the crossing vees are spring loaded closed to give a smooth passage. This feature can be seen on this photo, just. I only know because in my days with the S & T dept, we had to jemmey them open to drill for track circuit bonding. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted March 13, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi. Actually, Judge Dread, the photo is part of the East Riding Councils archive collection, but with no known copyright on it. The photographer is unknown. Fascinating to see those switchable crossing vees. It's the first time I've heard of them. Best regards, Rob. P.S. I love that photo of Beverley, it takes me right back. Thank you for posting it, Mick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for posting it, Mick. Thanks for the photos. The wing rail on the main running line was sprung closed to provide a smooth and quiet running. When the point(s) were switched, each flange on that side would push the rail open, which then would snap shut after their passage. I believe it to be only to be found on the North Eastern railway, having not seen it anywhere else but I'm sure Mick will give a ruling on that.

Also used on the Southern - an example at Bodmin has come to attention elsewhere on the forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
