Ngauranga Exit from the loop and through the crossover to the Down Main is controlled by double unit signal 16RAB Down Starting From Loop (far right). The centre signal is 12RAB Down Starting From Up Main and in the foreground is 10R Down Starting From Down Main.

The backshunt was once part of the old Hutt Up Main and provided a third road to Wellington Junction. Is this the reason fror the double unit loop exit signal?

On the Down Main double unit signal 14AB Up Starting From Down Main (Woburn) (now blacked out and not visible in the photograph)  is the Up starter.

Trentham - Double unit running signal 23BC Up Departure From Loop controls exit from the Loop. The Racecourse platform is on the right and is used by passenger trains on race days. This signal was once fitted with a low-speed light for entry to the sidings.

A single unit departure signal is on the Main and the rear of 3 Down Home can be seen on the single line. For more information about Trentham see Trentham Race Trains,  Medium Speed and Points Indicators.
