A big lift for a 7-tonne signal box
cabin has brought an new aspect to the Corwen central station works site.
On Thursday contractors moved the
former Weston Rhyn signal box cabin from its long term storage place at Carrog
station yard the two miles down the A5 road and lifted it into position onto
the recently prepared base.
The signal box is now sitting on its
elevated position adjacent to the new Water Tower at the eastern end of the
site and makes a fine addition to the station area which has been long planned.
Its successful move and installation is a major step forward with the project
and enables the final phase of track laying and platform complete to proceed.
Externally renovated and repainted
by volunteers in preparation for the move, the new facility awaits
further work to renovated the interior and ultimately install the
signalling frame and locking equipment.
