Contemporary Perspective on GWR Signalling
Author: Allen JacksonPublisher: Crowood
ISBN: 1847979505
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 471
Book Description
For over 150 years Britain's railways have relied on a system of semaphore signalling, but by 2020, all semaphore signals and lineside signal boxes will be gone. A Contemporary Perspective on GWR Signalling provides a unique record of the last operational mechanical signalling and infrastructure on Britain's railway network, as it applied to the former Great Western Railway (and lines owned jointly with other companies). It also includes a comprehensive explanation of what mechanical signalling is and how it works. Beautifully illustrated with over 400 contemporary images and with detailed information from a 2003-2014 survery, this is an essential resource for anyone with an interest in the traditional signalling systems of railways in Britain. The book covers: lineside signalling equipment - semaphore signals, brackets and gantries, and other variations; ways of working, from Absolute Block to Track Circuit Block (TCB); detailed coverage of the signal boxes and infrastructure on Network Rail, including routes through Shrewsbury, Hereford, Worcester, Cornwall, Chester and North Warwickshire; and diagrams of the major routes.

Book Description
For over 150 years Britain's railways have relied on a system of semaphore signalling, but by 2020, all semaphore signals and lineside signal boxes will be gone. In his previous book, author Allen Jackson covered the GWR lines; here, he continues his journey by providing a pictorial record of the last operational signalling and infrastructure on Britain's railway network, as it applied to the former London, Midland and Scottish Railway (and lines owned jointly with other companies). This first volume covers the routes of the following companies: Midland Railway; Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway; Furness Railway; Glasgow and South Western Railway, and North Staffordshire Railway. Beautifully illustrated with over 400 contemporary images and with detailed information from a 2003-2014 survey, this is an essential resource for anyone with an interest in the traditional signalling systems of railways in Britain.

Author: A Pictorial Record of L. M. S. Signal

ISBN: 9781906419417
Category : Railroads
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
First published in 1972, this reference work on L.M.S. Signals is still held in high regard by all railway historians today and remains the definitive book on the subject. Up to that time, few books of this type had ever been produced, yet it set the scene for what would become the now expected detailed work on specific examples of railway history. Only 800 copies of the original book were produced and it has never been reprinted. Those few copies that do come on the market today command a high price, not just because of rarity value, but because of the expertise clearly demonstrated in its compilation. 38 years later, and long overdue, this is the very first paperback reprint of the original edition. With only a few minor corrections, the book remains 99% as per the original. It will be welcomed by those with an interest in signalling as well as anyone who appreciated a comprehensive and detailed railway work.
