bpm01107.jpg		 BRY Cardiff (General) & Barry Pier Up & down Absolute Block instruments and bells for passenger/freight working between Cadoxton Low Level junction and Barry Dock signal boxes. The block instruments are showing that the line has been set "Line Clear" for an imminent "up" train and because the block section between here and Cadoxton South signal box was so short, the needle is also showing "Line Clear" for Cadoxton South ’box, the road having been "asked for" immediately after Barry Dock signalman had asked for "line clear" (From the left side). Note the master switch in between the block bells, which ws used to electrically switch out the signal box when the ’box was not manned Cadoxton Low Level junction signal box 6 28
