Towards Barton Street
Image: © David Stowell Taken: Unknown
Taken from the same spot as Image but looking towards Barton Street level crossing and Gloucester Eastgate station some months before the line closed. The left hand track is the start of the High Orchard branch. In the distance, over the roof of the DMU can be seen Barton Street Junction Signal box. Due to the restricted location and the need to have good visibility to control the level crossing the signal box was mounted on a gantry over the tracks. Gloucester Eastgate Station was almost immediately beyond. Today this area is buried under retail shopping developments.
