Salwick No. 2 signal box is seen from the bridge that crosses the line near the station. The box was opened as Salwick in 1889 and contained a twenty-eight lever Railway Signal Company Limited tappet frame. The box was re-named Salwick No. 2 in 1942 with the opening of another box but it reverted to its initial name in 1975 nearly two years after the closure of Salwick No1 signal box. However, as can be seen, it still wears its British Railways (London Midland Region) enamel maroon enamel still proclaiming it to be No. 2 box!
