Summary

[edit]
Description

Goose Hill Junction signal box located by the Up Fast line south of Normanton station where the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway diverged from the Midland Railway.

Goose Hill Junction signal box was a Midland Railway type 2a design which opened on 11th October 1891 replacing an 1882-built signal box. The original frame was replaced by a 64 lever Midland Railway Tappet frame on 29th August 1915. The former Midland Railway line to Oakenshaw North Junction closed on 1st June 1987 and the Slow lines to Altofts Junction signal box were taken out of use on 31st January 1988. The signal box closed on 2nd October 1988 by which time the track diagram carried the name Goosehill Junction although no change was made in the sectional appendix, with signalling passing to Wakefield Kirkgate and Altofts Junction signal boxes

The signal box carries a Midland Railway nameboard although at the other end was an early London Midland and Scottish Railway standard nameboard
