Rugby's Signal Gantry prior to the construction of the Great
Central bridge carrying the new railway over the LNWR mainline to London circa
1895. The signal gantry was built with two sets of signals, the top set
repeating the commands given to the lower set. This was because from a drivers
point of view the lower set of signals were difficult to see against the
background of the GC bridge. However the set at the top could be difficult to
see at night, especially in bad and foggy weather and therefore both sets of
signals required.
