Old Man('s) Winter 2- An Extra Note
Author: BoilingMan

This is a bit of extra info concerning my posting from yesterday.  Something for those interested in Norden Shed details.
Tight up against the shed wall, just inside the entry on the No1 Track, was a Train Order Signal.   These normally were mounted atop the TO mast itself and could be seen from an adequate distance, but the visibility ahead in the Norden Shed was limited because it curved.  So Norden had this unique signal, placed in advance of the TO itself.   On top was the typical Red & Green lamps.  Below that was a tall narrow lighted box with the lettering:
T
R
A
 I
N

O
R
D
E
R

I'm not sure, but I think there was a twin to this signal on the No2 Track also.  (I'll have to look closely at my photos)
Anyway, this is all a bit of trivia for those who enjoy this sort of thing.
