Yes, fully working on the severn valley railway, which is a preserved heritage line.

[@timothysmith8300]

nothing is as good as traditional signals and signal boxes with a mixture of a steam locomotives and a Proper station any thing is better than the modern shit you have to put up with today.

[@JohnPW22]

Not many videos out there of this kind of operation wit UK signal boxes - so very informative! Well captured, recorded and humorously done! Subbing!

i am watching this in 2019 is this box still there ?

[@southwalestrainspotting5090]

Yes

[@allanegleston4931]

what is with the rag that the signal man uses?

[@jamesdupuis4821]

I enjoyed the video but why do you need a towel ?

[@daverobertocarlos]

James Dupuis static electricity off the metal handles on the signal levers is not uncommon

[@michaelhuxley1230]

No, It's not static electricity. The cloth is used so as to keep the handle clean and to avoid a build up of moisture from the signalman's hands causing rust on the lever

[@purnimachaudhari]

@@michaelhuxley1230 Very Correct. in addition towel use does not allow, palm to slip from Lever. It creates friction between palm & lever.

[@stevenparkes3127]

Because it stops the sweat from the hands rusting the metal.

[@WaltTFB]

Every signalman should know where his towel is.
