RAILWAY WARNING SIGNALS USED BEFORE THE SEMAPHORE SYSTEM
Among the exhibits at the Railway Cen-
tenary Celebrations held at Darlington in
July, 1925, was this collection of various
types of signals used before the introduc-
tion of the semaphore system. In the olden
days, when single line tracks were
numerous, to prevent two trains meeting,
the signals were worked by a 'staff'
or 'key' which entailed the holding up
of engines until the preceding engines
driver had returned the key to unlock the
signal.
