Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_str409

View of Platforms 4 and 5 looking towards the East of the station with a Midland Railway up train comprised of a variety of coaching stock standing in the station. On the extreme right is New Street No 4 Signal Box which controlled the standard LNWR signals installed on both platforms and the points inside the station. This signal box carried out the same function as the signal cabin suspended over the footbridge in the original station as signalmen in the outside boxes could not see within the confines of the station. 12th October 1903
