Washwood Heath Sidings No 1 Shunting Frame with the main lines to Derby in front of the box circa 1993

Washwood Heath Sidings No 1 Shunting Frame with the main lines to Derby in front of the box circa 1993. A Midland Railway design, the box first opened on 19th March 1899 but was later given a new and larger lever frame on 6th April 1924. Driver Chris Hill and shunter Mark Neal worked Freightliner Class 66/5 66532 'P&O Nedlloyd Atlas' on 4M49 on the last movement signalled by the box before it was switched out for good two hours later.
