- By request, a video focusing on the remaining semaphore signaling, signal boxes, manned level crossings and token-worked single line on the Cumbrian Coast line from Barrow to Derwent Jct.. There are a few scenes in common with the "37 Heaven" video, but most of the action is units. With Network Rail's commitment to eliminating these types of operations, these facilities are living on borrowed time.

A proper railway with traditional signalling.....great.....and still works reliably. Super film, thanks.
Спасибо! Прекрасное видео. Это не только сохранение исторического наследия, но и работа для людей. Компьютер под голубыми небесами.
I think its great to see these signals still working. I remember the north wales coast main line had these till the late 70s
Spent many an hour watching them and the trains...These never shut the line down for hours due to signal failing or power problems and circuit breaks..Also worked in any weather. They are cheap and simple to maintain too.
Can't beat semaphores and old style boxes.
Thank you. An enjoyable video. Sad to see this go into the past.
could we start a patition to save this classic icons for future generations?
Thank you, fmnut, for the upload. Any chance of one between Barrow and Carnforth, showing the last few semaphores: Ulverston has a couple, and so does Arnside
Sorry, didn't get that far on my trip, and with the virus I doubt I'll be back anytime soon. Thanks for watching.
Now you can see why we in North America call the act of restoring a green railway signal to red "knocking down a signal".
Also, what kind of train is that that the Class 37's are top-n-tailing? A business train?
The Class 37s in this video were mostly regular passenger services. Surprisingly, they were used for passenger services on the Cumbria Coast Line up until a few years ago due to a shortage of newer trains.
Great to watch, now any railway management man should see the marketing potential of still using loco hauled trains and manual signaling the extra passengers/enthusiast's numbers would MORE than pay for the extra running costs and as time has shown manual signalling is more reliable, just watch the Kings Cross and Paddington documentaries to prove the point, I hope they wake up before this still successful treasure is torn up, thank you very much for posting.
Wow barrow in furness the main station before sodor
How the Island of Sodor would look in real life with the 37s and traditional signalling!
Do not let terrorists know about Track Ciruits.
They already know. This shows them nothing they don’t know.
