A few references unearthed from the database:

Riccall: large scale station track plan, undated. BR/OPC collection at the NRM ref.21195. Riccall South box diagram, undated, SRS ref.S253

Naburn: large scale station track plans, undated. BR/OPC collection at the NRM refs.21183, 23660

 

Presumably the loops dated from 08.02.1942, which is the date I have for the opening of Riccall North signal box at 179m 60¾ch on the down side and Escrick South signal box at 180m 34½ch on the up side.

 

I've got mileages for most of the salient features (from Engineers Line Diagrams) if they are any help

Hello there, I know this is a long time after your original post (and I've replied to the Stationmaser in the same vein) , but I'm interested in the infrastructure mileages from the ELR  you mentioned.  I'm researching the railway in that area - is it possible that I may obtain a copy from you please?

Very difficult to find pictures of the loops James although there was a magazine article many years ago (I forget where off hand) about them.

 

North Eastern Express No.133 of February 1994 has a piece about the section but all the diagrams and text relate to NER days,  I've got a complete set of smallish scale computerised S&T drawings undated but late 1950s/earl'60s covering Barlby North - Escrick South inclusive, plus some computerised  civil engineering plans (structure only) for Riccall North - and that's about it for the period and location you're interested in.

Hello there, I know this is a long time after your original post, but I'm interested in the two sets of computerised drawings you mentioned as I'm researching the railway in that area. Is it possible that I may obtain a copy from you please?
