View of the departure signal via the goods loop to the up line to the west of Adderley Park station. Blob Essery writes in his caption to the photograph in Railways in the West Midlands Part One 'to the right of the signal post is the 'ringing out bell' used to advise the signalman when a train was ready to depart from the sidings. When telephones to communicate with signalmen were provided on running lines, a white diamond was attached to the post with the letter T in the diamond, but since this was not a running line signal the sign would not be applied.
