Nairn West signal box closed, along with its twin at the eastern end of the station during 2000. Both boxes are McKenzie and Holland Type 3 (Highland variant) structures being very similar in design. It has been recently restored and is a category B listed structure by Historic Environment Scotland. As the station platform has been partially closed photographic access to the box is limited to this position in the former station yard. When the boxes were in use a bicycle was provided to the signalman in order to move efficiently between the two boxes with them being single manned as one.
