This is a signal box that I have passed a number of times travelling up and down the ECML. Going too fast, I have never been able to capture an image so we went a little out of our way to get a photograph. The box was built to a classic 'modern' LNER design in 1957 that was by then part of British Railways. The box was located at the far southern end of one of Ferryhill's station island platforms and controlled this end of the station and the extensive marshaling yard that occupied the land seen here behind the box.
