Meadmore Junction SignalBox.

The new Signal Control Tower at Meadmore Junction was built in 1996 to replace the old Meadmore Junction "A" signalbox that was in 1970. The signalbox has (2) two signal control panels, one for the control of the Meadmore Junction and Triangle Junction areas, the other for the remote control of the Pine Creek Crossing Loop and Station.

All signals are Three Position light signals (either 3 light or Searchlight) with the introduction of Upper Quadrant Signalling at Meadmore Junction being planned.

The Signal Control panels were relocated from the old signalbox in October 1996 and "plugged" into the interlocking just before the 1996 Christmas Rush. In the near future both control panels will be replaced with a single modern control panel.

Meadmore Junction Control Panel. This Signal Control Panel was installed at Meadmore Junction in 1978 to control the new light signalling that had been installed with the new crossing loop. The S.C.P was housed in the old Signalbox with its relay interlocking until 1995, when the panel was relocated to then New Signalbox and is now awaiting replacement.

The diagram is a "failsafe" indication type, where if the Track Circuit is illuminated, then the track section is clear. An extinguished indicator, will normally indicate the presence of a train.

The Panel incorporates two Closing levers

for both the Meadmore Junction and Triangle Junction areas, and can be placed into Automatic operation when not required for Special train Movements.
