The site of Lowdham signal box
Essentially the same viewpoint as https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6320971 , the yellow bags indicating the actual site.
The box has been preserved as part of the display of railwayana (Lowdham Railway Heritage) by the occupier of the former railway station. It was moved intact during the night of 24 October 2020 by being lifted by crane onto a low-loader lorry, and redeposited alongside the station building at the rear of the northbound platform http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6695965.
Some views of the move can be found here https://www.railinsider.co.uk/2020/11/13/signal-box-moves-100-metres-overnight/#:~:text=The%20signal%20box%20at%20Lowdham,stood%20for%20over%20120%20years.

On this occasion, the signal box had no trains to control as none was running due to the Nottingham area resignalling project.

Lowdham level crossing
The presence of 4 lifting barriers indicates that this is not a fully automatic crossing. Since 2016 however it has been controlled from a remote signalling centre, with lidar detection of obstructions.

Lowdham, Notts.
The former dual-purpose station master's house and station building (ticket office etc.) at the side of Station Road. The ramp, plus the white gate, provides access for passengers onto the platform serving trains travelling towards Newark. This building passed into private ownership in 1990. The white van on the left approaching the level crossing on the right is coming from the direction of the A612 (the Nottingham-Southwell road).
