LNER Route: Leicester to Marylebone

Rugby Central Station: gcrcs10a

Close up of image 'gcrcs19' showing Rugby Station Signal Cabin which controlled the goods yard and the station section. The box is an example of a type introduced by the MS&L in 1894, but most were built after the company renamed itself the Great Central to emphasise its newly created London route. The majority of these boxes were built with brick bases (although an all-wood examples were also built) and features included a shallower roof pitch and a lean-to porch. Only the corner window sections slide open.
