Class 45, 45051 stands beside Westbury South Box after delivering a freight (not sure which freight the 6V44 was in 1975). The South Box was one of two signal boxes controlling Westbury - the other being Westbury North Box. The South Box would close at the end of September 1978. The North Box would become just Westbury. The semaphore signals would remain in use until May 1984 when Multi-Aspect Colour Light signalling was introduced on the route, following which both mechanical signal boxes were demolished.
