Drigg sIgnal box (Furness, 1871)
Drigg sIgnal box (Furness, 1871) With a dramatic skyline and the Cumbrian Fells in the background Drigg signal box is seen. The box is a Furness structure dating from 1871 that has been substantially updated utilising UPVC cladding. As well as controlling the level crossing on which I am standing it also operated the crossover seen to the left. This permits freight trains to cross over and then access the sidings into the huge adjacent Low Level Nuclear Waste Repository located between the railway and the sea to my right.
