Growth of vegetation the embankment is such that only this sign gives any indication that there is a railway still on top of it. The sign is a "Fixed Distant" board, and gives advanced warning that trains should be prepared to stop ahead, in this case at Rawcliffe Bridge station and the level crossing by it.
