Down home signal (HW20), looking south, Holywood level crossing
Down home signal (HW20), looking south, Holywood level crossing Looking south from Holywood level crossing reveals that recent trackwork has been taking place with fresh ballast and new track laid. Dominating the scene is the tall down home signal (HW20), which will only be pulled off when the gates have been closed (as in signaller parlance, which means closed to road traffic). Notice also part of the mechanism in the foreground that opens and closes the gates operated by a wheen in the signal box, the last such example remaining on the Scottish network. The remains of the former station platform (closed 26.09.49) can also be made out although almost completely overgrown now. Keywords: Down home signal HW20 looking south Holywood level crossing
