LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Camp Hill Station: mrch865

Ex-MR 0-6-0 3F No 43464 is seen passing Camp Hill signal box on a Class H through freight train in 1953. Trains being banked from Washwood Heath would normally continue without further assistance from this point onwards. However if the driver of the train engine required continued assistance he would whistle as he passed the box and in daylight the signalman would wave his arm to tell the banker to continue or at night wave a green lamp. This was the third signal box sited at Camp Hill and was opened on 23rd February 1941.
