Blaydon signal box (NE, not known)
Blaydon signal box (NE, not known) Blaydon signal box is a NER Type N2 design with a Mckenzie & Holland forty-three lever frame. It is a little incongruous from this angle appearing to face the wrong way. Its ‘front’ now faces trees where once there were the lines of the former passenger route via Scotswood railway bridge and Elswick to Newcastle Central with the lines in the foreground being the former freight-only route towards Dunston and then Gateshead. The former route was closed by BR in 1982 with all traffic diverted to the latter. Keywords: Blaydon signal box North Eastern Railway
