Buxton signalbox
The box controls the junction between the passenger lines out of the station, and the two single track freight branches that still serve nearby stone quarries. Buxton once had a surprisingly dense railway network for a town of its size, with two passenger stations and several freight lines. The box dates from 1894, refurbished 2004.
