Leuchars signal box (NB, 1920)
Leuchars signal box (NB, 1920) When I last photographed Leuchers signal box on 08.04.84 it was from the 09.05 Edinburgh to Dundee train hauled by 47002. Then, it looked very different to how it does now with no UPC cladding and windows and with the brickwork in its as-built condition devoid of this odd red paint. The box was originally named Leuchars North being constructed relatively late by the North British in 1920 when sidings were built into the adjacent military base. When the South box closed in 1970, the North reverted to just Leuchars. Today it still controls a fine array of semaphores and while the base is still rail-connected the lines have not been used for many years. Keywords: Leuchars signal box 1920
