Description
This signal box was between Grangemouth station and Fouldubs Junction. The box controlled the point south of the station where the passenger lines (west side) and goods and mineral lines (east side) met. The goods lines approached from Grangemouth No 2 Signal Box which was on the east side of the station. To the south was a large yard (Fouldubs Junction Yard) which ran south west to Fouldubs Junction. The box was on the west side of the line.
The box closed in 1969, one year after the closure to passengers. No 2 closed at the same time but No 3 box remained open.
No 3 box closed in 1985 after which the line from Fouldubs Junction became two parallel running single track lines, one to the Grange dock and the other to Grangemouth Refinery.
