Signal Box Type 5

Last crawled date: 2 years ago

Signal Boxes are where the signalmen work. Signal boxes can be seen throughout Sodor. In signal boxes, the signalmen control the points, point locks, signals, level crossing gates and occasionally movable bridges using levers located in what is known as a lever frame. Levers in signal boxes are coloured according to their function; reds are stop signals, black for points, yellow for distant signals, blue for point locks, brown for gate locks and whites for spares. By operating the levers, signalmen can send an engine onto a siding to allow another engine to pass, for example. They may also change the indication of a signal, giving an engine directions. This signal box is based on the one seen from S3 onwards that was seen in many locations such as Kirk Ronan Junction, S3 Vicarstown Goods Depot from S3E21 Escape, Wellsworth Junction in S18E15 Spencer's VIP and at Tidmouth Sheds in TATMR. It also served as Haultraugh Station Building in S3E23 Bulgy and as Cabalnoo statation in S12.
