The Signal Diagram used by Washwood Heath Sidings No 1
Shunting Frame to control trains arriving and departing from the sidings. The
original intent under the 1969 resignalling scheme was to retain a local
facility to enable quicker shunting manoeuvres, but this was restricted because
the shunting frame's every move had to be coordinated with Saltley Power Box
which ultimately controlled all activities. The shunting frame and Saltley
Power Box were both replaced by computerised signalling from the West Midlands
Signalling Centre which was sited just across the road from the Saltley Power
Box.
