Castlerock: Final stop for NI Railways train signal box [BBC]





Date: 03/11/2016

It has been used as a signalling station for nearly 150 years, but now the last railway box in Northern Ireland is set to be demolished. Staff at Castlerock used bells, levers and mechanical frames to keep trains on track between Londonderry and Coleraine. Computerised signalling technology will replace the Victorian model this week.
