There was a McKenzie & Holland trident signal which controlled the approach to the FR Duffws Station being sited to the South of the FR main line just below Queen's Bridge. The signals were removed from Duffws in 1923 but the Trident was not removed until 1929. It was erected on the Cob where it controlled the approach to Harbour Station and the WHR junction. The Trident signal featured in many photographs of early revival trains on the approach to Harbour Station until it was blown down in a storm in 1965(?). It was replaced with much less photogenic signals of the GNER somersault type in 1972 ("sourced", by Alan Garraway). In early 2014 a new trident signal, based on the original but located further out on the Cob, was erected to control the approach to the revised Harbour Station layout. In June 2014 it was complete except for its finials and had yet to be commissioned. The temporary colour light signal was still controlling the trains. Photo credit: User:MarkTemple |
