A class 45 heads a train of three BG's (Guards Brake carriages) towards Elstree. Behind are special tall semaphores with repeating arms. They are arranged so that the northbound drivers can see the aspect of the signal from the other side of the bridge that this photo is taken from. Being so tall, the signals have bracing wires to the white posts on the embankment on the right and to another set of posts on the left that are hidden by the vegetation. The signal between the tracks uses the standard Midland Railway circular post. However, the one to the left of the tracks is of a lattice design - see Image for a closer view.
