Railway Signs and Signals of Great Britain


A fixed 'banner' distant signal on the approach to Rathdrum, in the Down direction. A yellow lamp is fixed above the board, for use during darkness. This signal has been placed on the right-hand side of the line for better sighting on the left-hand curve. Note the milepost near the bottom of the signal post, indicating a distance of 36¾ miles from Dublin (Harcourt Street). (Photo taken 3 May 2001.)
