Midland Memories

Hammersmith, at the western extreme of the heritage Midland Railway, is a time warp of the original Midland Railway. The signal box once stood at Kilby Bridge on the Midland main line, which is south of Wigston, and is designated a 'Type 3B' box. It was closed in 1986 when the so-called 'Leicester Gap' was re-signalled and then uprooted and moved to the heritage line. It controls the terminus at Hammersmith. The signals, too, are of Midland Railway vintage. On 3rd March Ivatt Class 2MT No. 46521 approaches Hammersmith during a photo charter organised by Martin Creese (30742 Charters).
