Sleaford West signal box (GN, 1882) & level crossing
Sleaford West signal box (GN, 1882) & level crossing Until Network Rail commissioned the Lincoln Signalling Centre in 2014 (delayed from 2013) Sleaford was the only rail centre in the UK to still retain four working signal boxes named as North, South, East and West. Here Sleaford West box is seen with its associated manually operated level crossing gates. The box is a Great Northern box built in 1882 and at the time of writing is still in use controlling the crossing but its operation of the wonderful semaphores has ceased. Notice the twin permissive arms and shunting disk on the post directly in front of the box. Keywords: Sleaford West signal box level crossing Great Northern GNR
