LMS Leander and coach steam back to Carnforth through foggy conditions at Grindleford - 1198

            Facing west and some decent, controllable lighting conditions. 45690 steams along nicely towards the old mechanical signal box at Grindleford, the box due to be abolished in 2018 in the large Network Rail program of work to remove all the Victorian Signalling from the network and divest control in a handful of regional control centres; the so-called 'ROCs', Railway Operating Centres; the total program taking over 20 years to complete and a very great shame it will be to see all this infra-structure disappear.. The signal ahead is 'off', indicating the section ahead is clear and there is also a white diamond plate on the post which indicates that the line ahead is track-circuited and therefore the diver doesn't have to phone the signaller if he is held for more than two minutes at the signal; very unlikely anyway these days I would have thought. Network Rail are present and on with the start of the work to install a new loop along the up line on the right, but further west, commencing at Bamford.
