RAILWAYS IN OLD PLYMOUTH

BRANCH LINE, CORNWALL JUNCTION SIGNAL BOX TO PLYMOUTH GREAT WESTERN DOCKS

The commencement of the line to the Plymouth Great Western Docks, later known as Millbay Docks, was 116 yards south of Cornwall Junction Signal Box, where signal lever 6 gave access to the Down Goods line until 1960.  On and as from November 14th 1960 the two Goods Lines became the Main Lines and signal 6 became the access signal for the Down Carriage Line, formerly the Main Line.  The Plymouth Panel Signal Box took over control of the Branch on and as from November 26th 1960.
