Harbour Lever Frame

The new signal box at Harbour Station has a 12 lever Westinghouse Signals Style “L” lever-frame. This is a small portion of the old 155 lever Darlington South frame, commissioned in 1939, de-commissioned in 1972. A 12 lever portion of the frame was kindly donated to the FR by Peter Burke in 2012, having been in store for longer than it had originally been in use! It was commissioned as part of the Harbour Station remodelling project in March 2014.
