Minor Railways Section –
Technical Visit to the Foxfield Railway
Saturday 17th November 2012 |
| |
| The Minor Railways Section have
arranged a technical visit to the Foxfield Railway at Blythe Bridge
in Staffordshire. The current signalling system on the railway has
grown from a single signal protecting a level crossing when the Society
took over the line in 1967. The line now has an unusual signalling
system which has evolved over the intervening years and is well worth
visiting, come along and see!
This technical visit is open to members and non-members and is
aimed at individuals involved with signalling and telecommunications
design and maintenance in the minor railway sector or those who
have a general interest in these subjects.
Full details can be obtained here:. |
