Bago Burma 15th January 2018

            The impressive 85-lever frame in Bago (Pegu) North Cabin is clearly British Colonial but I am not sure which company built this installation.

I am certainly no signalling expert but assume the red levers are signals, the blue levers points, the blue & black levers facing point locks and the white levers spare. The yellow levers 79-83 are labelled Control and 84 Master Control and are clearly linked with Bago South Cabin but I am not sure how.

Standard practice on the sub-continent, including Burma, was the instruments were operated by a senior man, usually located somewhere on the station, technically making him the signalman. The boxes were in reality no more than elaborate ground frames worked under instruction. There was no sign of any block instruments in this box.

The wooden floor looks like it may have had a recent polish but those rusty lever tops would definitely not please a fastidious British signalman!
