40199, up oil tankers, Selby station & signal box 40199 comes over the Selby swing bridge with an up tanker train. It will take the centre road through the station as it heads south. The closed Selby North signal box is seen to the left of the image devoid of its namaplate. I remember the very distinctive noise of trains crossing the swing bridge, the 'click-clack' of the wheels over extra large joints where the swing bridge separated from the land was very loud. The swing bridge was another factor that lead to the opening of the Selby diversion in 1983 as it created a bottleneck that compromised ECML timings.
