Broom Junction station: mrbj148a
Close up of image 'mrbj148' showing the third signal box at
Broom Junction sited which opened on 6th May 1934. The free standing boardwalk
seen in image 'mrbj539c', is clearly recognisable in
this view. Broom Junction was originally named Broom South until the 1934 when
the structure seen above was configured to handle the station's requirements
both north and south thereby replacing Broom North signal box seen in image 'mrbj149'. To confuse matters, when the south curve from
the SMJ line was completed in 1942 to accommodate through trains from
Gloucester to London, this signal box was renamed Broom North because a new
signal box was built to the south of this view called Broom South to handle the
south curve's traffic.
