Crewe North Junction signal box, Railway museum and signal box at Crewe Heritage Centre, England
The signal box features a Westinghouse Style L lever frame with 214 levers, housed within reinforced concrete walls measuring 38 centimeters in thickness.
The London Midland and Scottish Railway commissioned this signal box on March 29, 1940, as part of wartime infrastructure improvements at Crewe Station.
The signal box stands as an educational facility where former railway workers demonstrate traditional signaling methods to museum visitors.
Located within the Crewe Heritage Centre, the signal box contains original equipment including relay systems, control panels, and mechanical interlocking devices.
The structure incorporates two separate frames positioned back-to-back, with 107 levers each, controlling points and colored light signals across the junction.
