A disappearing part of the railway is the signalbox, as centralised electronics are installed on the network, replacing some of the oldest structures and mechanical train control, although crossing management is still an important role.
With opening windows on a tour, it is often possible to nab a snap of a 'box, and on a freight only route it's often the only indicator of where you actually are! Here's some from various trains.
With the general rundown of the BR/Brush Class 60 locomotive in full swing, plus the wonder of modern technology which is the mobile phone equipped with camera and Blogger, this blog will attempt to keep you informed as to the activities of the Class in its final days/months/years (?). It's also an excuse to have a dip into other items of interest to a typical rail enthusiast and of course, have the occasional rant!
