Fort William Junction signal box is a North British style 6b opened in 1894 and fitted with a thirty lever frame also fitted with an NX Panel for the controlling the signalling into the station some two miles from where it is located. The box is located in the vee of the Mallaig branch (in the foreground) and the Glasgow line behind. As well as being named Fort William Junction from March 1988, it was also been Mallaig Junction and prior to that in 1901 Banavie Junction. Please note that the colour of the brickwork is not due to a camera colour shift issue but that it really has been painted in some sort of strange semi-pink paint!
