Leavers on the mechanical lever frame inside the signal box at Haven Street station on the Isle of Wight steam Railway. UK. (99)


Leavers inside the signal box at Haven Street station on the Isle of Wight steam Railway, UK. Mechanical railway signalling installations rely on lever frames for their operation to interlock the signals, track locks[1] and points to allow the safe operation of trains in the area the signals control. Usually located in the signal box, the levers are operated either by the signalman or the pointsman.
