The Signal Box

https://www.signalbox.org/

John Hinson has an excellent signal box site with more about the history of St Albans South plus links to a wide range of other signalling-related web sites. As at April 2020 the site was restarted in a new format, and is still being worked on, So the site may not have all of the content listed here, which includes signals, block system, branch lines (articles on signalling), photo gallery, museums & pubs with signalling items, railway companies & contractors, track layouts, notes on latest magazines, signalman's bookshelf, lever frames, exchange sidings (buying and selling), signal links and 'The Blower', a signalling-related discussion forum.

Please note that the previous "signalling overseas" pages are no longer available.

Derby Signalling Website

http://www.derby-signalling.org.uk/

Set up by Dave Harris, he set himself the task to research and detail the mechanical signalling within the area of Derby powerbox. He extended his 'patch' to include the North Staffordshire Railway line as far as Uttoxeter as this is still manually signalled. The area also includes lines which didn't survive long enough to see power signalling, notably the GNR Derbyshire extension, the Butterley branch and the brewery railways of Burton on Trent - with all the crossings which once dominated the town.

He has identified over 250 different signal box locations within this comparatively small area. Thanks mainly to the Midland Railway's policy of building small boxes and replacing them with bigger structures when required, many of the sites had up to four different boxes on them over the years. It is his objective to sort out the data concerning these boxes.
