Carnforth remains an interesting mixture of signalling. The fully electrified

WCML passes through the station using the most modern multiple-aspect signalling under the control of Preston's PSB. Meanwhile, the rest of the station is controlled by mechanical signalling operated by Carnforth Station Junction box that can be seen just beyond the footbridge. 156860 is just leaving the station working the 12.32 Morecambe to Leeds service. The scene is dominated by the magnificent former Furness box which was also named Carnforth Station Junction. It is interesting to make the contrast between the two signals on either side of the photograph. To the left CS2 is a modern LED unit with a large feather for the Leeds route whilst to the right, the platform one down starter semaphore is seen on its short post.
