content header for Booysens signal box South Africia
John Francis recently had the pleasure of a trip to South Africa as part of his IRSE Presidential Duties. His hosts there took him to see many things including the last Siemens all-electric miniature power lever frame in use in South Africa. As a result we are able to include the following pictures of this unique lever frame at Booysens signal cabin.
