A decent photograph of Salisbury East signal box was alwaysa tricky proposition due to its location deep in the East Yard. However, not for me on this Saturday morning wearing my orange BR issues tabard meaning that I could wander around with impunity! When this photograph was taken the box had just eleven days in use before being replaced by a panel box unusually located behind an anonymous door on Salisbury station's platform four. The East box (like its West brother) had a 'draw-slide' power lever-frame, which worked all the signals and points by means of low-pressure air. The head of air was kept in the large vertical tank seen to the left of the box. It's a shame that the look of the 1902-built L&SWR box has been marred by the rather crude infilling of the lower windows. |
