Signal boxes are rapidly disappearing from our rail network as they are replaced by digital control centres. In Signal Box Scenes Around Britain Part One: South & East England, The Midlands, Yorkshire & The Humber the author, Stephen Chapman, has used a wide selection of photographs to produce a visual appreciation of the subject.
The photographs feature a diverse range of signal boxes in an assortment of scenes including signal boxes from the outside, on the inside, pictures of signal boxes with passing trains, items associated with signal boxes, and pictures of trains where a signal box forms part of the scene.
In Part One Stephen looks at:
- South and South East England
- The South West
- Mid-England
- Eastern England
- The North Midlands
- Yorkshire & The Humber
It should be noted that the author asserts that this book is not intended to be a technical study of signal box equipment, or how it works, and should not be treated as such.
Captions accompany the photographs, which are displayed in 2-per-page format.
