Trentham Signalling History This page documents signalling and track layout changes at Trentham. Home > Signalling History > Trentham |
Contents
The date is that on the S & I - not necessarily the date the changes were commissioned.
|
Before 1976 See Pomare - Wallaceville. |
November 1976
|
Distances and signal numbers metricated. Up departure signals at Trentham (23A & 23ABC) now jointly controlled by Upper Hutt and Trentham were from UIpper Hutt at all times). Trentham a switchout signal box. Siding safety siding points now numbered 11 and worked by points motor rather than by rodding from 13 points. |
September 1993
|
Trentham now classed as a Local Control Panel rather than a signalbox. Signal 2 Down Outer Home removed. 3117 converted to double unit Stop & Proceed signal. 3 Down Home moved to eastern side of line and A-light removed. Slow 50 board installed for down trains at 18 points. Silverstream and Defence switchlocked sidings have been removed. CTC Starts & CTC Ends boards installed to define limits of CTC territory. S & I circulars prior to this date stated that the Regulations for Automatic Signalling applied, with no reference to CTC. In the 1965 Rule Book, applicable at the time, there was no specific CTC section. |
August 1995
|
There may have been S & I 2001 dated 13/8/95, into service on Train Advice 7169. (Unlikely, as the S & I numbers would have been out of sequence). Express Freight boards were installed on the down main. In another page I comment that by 2002 the pilot keys had been removed but I cannot find the reference. |
S & I 2672
|
Not located. |
February 2007
|
In February 2007 control of Trentham was transferred from Upper Hutt to Train Control. The station panel was decommissioned and signals renumbered. The Down Home signal became approach controlled for movements to the loop and the down intermediate signal 3117 no longer displayed yellow over green for such movements. Station limits are now clearly defined. |
