This signal is placed on the wrong side of the track so as to provide better sighting. This one has a "distant" signal underneath the "home" signal. Look up the rails and see a goods train coming from the Worksop direction and after crossing the E.C.M.L., its going towards Lincoln.

A "flat crossing" where the ex Great Central line, Sheffield to Lincoln line crosses the ex Great Northern East Coast Main Line.

"Flat Crossings" were anathema to Britain's railways and largely avoided. The two most notorious were at Retford and Newark. The one at Retford was replaced with a "dive under" in 1965. The layout at Newark would entail stratospheric costs to replace, so it has never happened.



Despite this aversion, the "Cae Pawb" flat crossing in Porthmadog, Wales (which was closed before WW2) has been rebuilt and was reopened in 2010.



I am open to correction, but the only flat crossings in Great Britain were at Widnes, Earlestown, Retford, Newark, Pontop Crossing (Tyneside), Murrow (Cambidgeshire) and Cae Pawb. Only Newark and Cae Pawb survive.
