Soho: lnwrsoho2199a
Close up of image 'lnwrsoho2199' showing Soho Station signal
cabin and the sidings which could cater for up to 150 wagons. In front of the
signal cabin and at an unusually low level, are upper quadrant signals
controlling the exit from the station on the down line. The signals are thus
positioned because the drivers of trains entering the yard from the direction
of the station would have very confined vision being both in a cutting and
being obstructed by the Soho Street overbridge. However the very tall signals
are for the up line and placed on the opposite side to normal because of the
curve. Similarly they are placed very high to allow drivers of trains from the
direction of Wolverhampton to New Street maximise their vision over the
footbridge and general clutter in the yard.
