SOUTH WALES
at the turn of the
Century
BARRY
 |
| Barry signal box also stars in the Photo Gallery section, and a detailed history of the cabin will be found there. The curious porch arrangement gives the box a very continental appearance. |
 |
| Inside the box, it is nice to see a
large lever frame with so many levers still operational - only the white levers
are out of use. This is no doubt a result of the box now controlling the entire Barry area, rather than just one part of it. |
 |
| The lengthy diagram shows the
layout controlled from this box; in the centre can be seen the station and the
junction for the short branch to Barry Island. On the block shelf are a number of plungers (which energise the electric releases on levers) and a range of signal and points repeaters. |
