The view from the signal box at Abbeydale South junction looking towards Abbeydale Station where our club loco "Edward" is about to depart with a train full of passengers. All points (switches) and signals are fully interlocked for safety, and the whereabouts of trains and the various signal aspects can be monitored by the signalman on the track plan above the levers. Points are actuated by pneumatic cylinders

The signal box was made by the members of Sheffield smee and it is for the whole line although a majority of the line is automatic.

More information to follow when I have it.
