This was a very eerie place to be at dusk on a late summer's evening! I am not sure how Graham and I managed to get this close to Pyewipe Junction and its associated signal box but it did enable me to take this very atmospheric photograph looking east back towards Lincoln. The area was once home to an extensive area of sidings and a large shed that was jointly run an operated by various railway companies such as the GN, the GN & GE Joint and the Great Central. The facing bracket with three dols permitted trains to enter Lincoln to the left, enter the former shed sidings or via the former Joint avoider route to Greetwell Junction to the right. The twin dolls on the bracket to the right are the homes for either the route to Doncaster (via Gainsborough) or the former GC route to the Midlands via Clipstone Junction. Most of this latter route is now closed and the tracks lifted but for the section of test track at High Marham. Note that a train is pegged for the Doncaster route. The box is superb Great Northern structure but I have no date for its construction. I have read reports from signalman that this was an incredibly quiet place to work surrounded by flat land and bird song but it was a tricky box to operate described a 'bit of brain teaser'*. It was certainly very atmospheric when we visited as seen in this photograph!
