Aberdour signal box is a delightful stone constructed North British signal box dating from 1890. Luckily, when the box closed it remained in use by the PW crews so was saved from probable demolition. It has now been converted by local artist, Lynette Gray, who has created a super gallery to showpiece her work, indeed, a search of the internet finds a lot about her and her work. It is pleasing to see the old box put to a new use and that it has maintained many of its original features such as the reproduction wooden nameboards. Lynette can be seen in the signal box garden enjoying the summer sunshine! In the background, 170408 waits at the station with the 12.51 Glenrothes with Thornton to Edinburgh service.
