Description

Preston signal box PN486 signal on the Down East Lancs line protecting Bamber Bridge level crossing. Sunday 1st March 2009

PN486 signal is a three aspect colour light on right hand bracket. The signal was commissioned as a semi-automatic signal on 5th November 1972 under the Preston signal box stage 2 resignalling

Behind, Bamber Bridge Station signal box is located by the Up East Lancs line alongside Station Road level crossing, and is a Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway non standard design (it is a standard design but with a flat roof) fitted with a 12 lever Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Tappet frame which opened on 7th October 1906, replacing an 1873-built signal box located diagonally opposite across the level crossing. On 5th November 1972 the frame was replaced by a British Railways London Midland Region individual function switch panel and the box was reduced to a non block post supervising the adjacent level crossing only after signalling passed to Preston power signal box. The level crossing gates were replaced by lifting barriers 11th November 1973 and the signal box was refurbished and rewindowed with uPVC cladding and windows in March 2010
