This magnificent Midland signal gantry should have been saved from

demolition and preserved, unfortunately, it was not! It once carried signals on all of its eight dolls but many have been removed. I have found a contemporary photograph of the gantry looking from the north with all of the small arms still in place controlling entry to the yard roads. The fact that all but one has been removed indicates the general rationalisation and re-signaling that was taking place at this time. 45116 is passing the gantry, still at a fair rate of knots as it approaches its destination, St. Pancras, with the 1M14 08.04 from Leeds.
