Annan signal box (GSW, 1876)
Annan signal box (GSW, 1876) The GSWR Type 1 signal box at Annan is seen from the station's platform end. The box was built in 1876 with its heritage recognisable by its pyramidal hipped roof despite the cloak of UPVC cladding. Quite how it has remained open is a mystery as it is an outpost of mechanical signalling sandwiched between more modern colour lights controlled from Dumfries. Whatever the reason for its survival, it looks good in the morning sunshine! Keywords: Annan signal box GSW Glasgow and South Western Railway
