Haxby Road signal box (NER, c.1873)
Haxby Road signal box (NER, c.1873) The typical first-generation NER signal box on Haxby Road is seen in the early morning sun. Notice the electrical wheel boom level crossing gates across York Road indicating a train was approaching. Unfortunately, I do not have a note of what the working observed was but I suspect that it was a unit to or from Scarborough. In an act of institutionalised vandalism the box was closed and demolished in 1989 a year after its twin a short distance away at Haxby came by the same fate.
