There was once a superb Great Central signal box at Woodburn Junction but on its closure in 1992, this porta-cabin structure was deemed as a worthy replacement by BR! In recent years, the new structure has had a cosmetic facelift after it became daubed with graffiti. It contains a mini panel that controls the immediate area and the lines to Rotherham and the closed Tinsley yard that branches off in the foreground. This route to Rotherham has now been singled but can still see occasional use as a usful diversionallry route from the Midland route north of Sheffield.
