[533x800] [2000x3000]
One of the classic signals that's stood since the single-tracking through the Springs in the early 1970s, along with its new replacement. The searchlights will fall and give way to (very Grande-like) hooded tri-lights. Taken 28-Feb-2010.

The only signal with a mast on the north end of the control point, for the main line (the westernmost track). The double-headed control signal for the siding is actually a dwarf between the lines. Taken 28-Feb-2010.
