Wrawby Junction
Wrawby Junction is a busy railway junction located a short distance west of Barnetby, North Lincolnshire, England and controls the confluence of the Network Rail routes from Lincoln, Retford and Scunthorpe towards Immingham and Cleethorpes. The junction is controlled by a large signal box of part-brick, part-wooden, construction.
== History ==
Although the railway has served the area since 1848, the present construction is of late-Great Central Railway design. Apart from the part-brick construction, Wrawby Junction is of similar design to its companion signal boxes at Barnetby East and Barnetby West. All signal boxes were built about 1916 when the section of route between Wrawby and Brocklesby was quadrupled to cope with the growing amount of freight traffic heading for the docks at Immingham and Grimsby. As well as controlling this busy complex of routes, Wrawby Junction was also responsible for controlling the entrance to the once-busy railway sidings at Barnetby, and the locomotive depot. When built, the lever frame consisted of 132 levers, whilst later, 5 more levers were added at the left hand end (A,to E inclusive). Wrawby Junction was - and most probably still is - the largest manual signal box in the world to be worked by a lone signaller. Most other large signal boxes require two or more signallers.
Wrawby Junction signal box is a grade II listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wraby Signal box on Images of England (photos of listed buildings) )〕
