As a railway enthusiast I am very sad to see the closure of Barry signal box but I accept it is progress. I am currently photographing all the remaining signal boxes in South Wales and south of Hereford on the Marches line. It still fascinates me that Victorian technology still exists on our network to this day and I want to capture as much as I can before the signal boxes and semaphores become history. I was able to take this shot of a Class 60 locomotive passing Barry signal box about an hour before the box closed. A rare sight indeed to see a Class 60 loco on a coal train in South Wales (the loco is now in storage) and poignant as it was the last day of operation for the signal box after 117 years of operational service - https://www.flickr.com/photos/99220921@N03/14338142887/
