A work based selfie for this months theme*

This is me working Garsdale Signalbox, though it’s rarely that sunny up there and my jumper isn’t quite that shade of blue, and my mustache isn’t that big (the brush slipped), other than that it’s fairly accurate

As you may or may not know I work at various locations on the Settle to Carlisle railway, last night I was again working at Appleby North signal box and I thought it would be a good opportunity to take a photograph or two.I had of course to be careful that taking these photographs did not interfere with my ‘work’ which makes it a bit harder to concentrate on the photography

Signals cleared for the last Southbound passenger of the day –

Can you see the ghost?

Appleby North box at night –

Notes – It’s called Appleby North because at one time there were a number of signal boxes dotted around Appleby.
All photographs were taken at a time when there would be no compromise to the safe passage of trains or personnel.
