With the Firth of Tay in the background, 170403 comes off the famous bridge forming the 15.59 Arbroath to Edinburgh service. The 1897 signal box, unlike a number of the other North British structures in the area, has not had its looks too badly wrecked by the addition of UPVC cladding, but it has had its brickwork painted in an awful red/orange paint. This must be an amazing place to be a signalman, affording superb views across the estuary with the city of Dundee just visible to the right of the box.
