GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Rowington Junction & Troughs: gwrrj264a

Close up of image 'gwrrj264' showing the junction in greater detail including PW huts and the signalbox which controlled the Henley-in-Arden branch. The junction is also protected by ground signals which replicated the instructions of the conventional signals on posts. They were round discs painted on one side with a white background and a red arm whilst the opposite side was the reverse. This enabled the crew to identify in the dark or in fog which side of the signal they were seeing.
