Scope and Content Signal box and level crossing, Park Street, Motherwell, North Lanarkshire This shows the box, and the level crossing it controls, from the south-east, with part of the Dalzell Steelworks to the right. This photograph was taken from a footbridge provided for use when the crossing is closed to road traffic. The box is of a standard Caledonian Railway design. This branch line was superseded by another line, further to the south-east, which was built after the closure of the open-hearth melting shop at Dalzell in 1978. This avoids having a level crossing. This signal box and its crossing were then demolished. This signal box was built by the Caledonian Railway, probably in about 1880, to control a level crossing of Park Street on a branch railway from the company's main Glasgow-Carlisle line to David Colville & Sons' Dalzell Iron & Steel Works.
