Blackrod Junction and signalbox
Blackrod Junction still survives, though the line from Horwich works in the photo is now (2008) no more. The box was sometimes termed the "standing joke" by railwaymen, as its survival into the 1990s was solely due to the inability of electronics at Preston signalbox (built 1973) to exchange train ID data with those at Manchester North (built circa 1990). To achieve the necessary exchange of information, the signalman at Blackrod receives information from one super-duper modern signalbox and manually re-enters it into the system feeding the other. Ain't technology wonderful?
