Signal Box (musing)

I took this picture at the National Railway Museum in York. One of the many objects that caught my attention. I think it is a signal box. I love signal boxes, I love what role they played in the old days of railway travel. Being a signalman was a lonely and demanding job, you had to be skilled, but someone who liked solitude, it might not have been so bad. And from what I understand, they had lots of free time. In a quaint little box like this, bright yellow, it beats office work.
