LMS Route: Rugby to Tamworth

Trent Valley Lineside - Newbold on Avon: lnwr_nupa1202

View of a crossover junction, signal gantry and signal box on the Trent Valley line north of Rugby station circa 1933. The Trent Valley line was built to provide a short cut and to avoid Birmingham for trains to and from the North West and Scotland. This view of the signal gantry with lower quadrant up and two home signals shows that both the slow and fast lines are cleared for traffic. The individual signals controlling the down slow and fast lines located adjacent to the signal box, of timber construction, are also cleared for traffic. C1933
