The New Junction mb-code 1237971 Wandsworth Manor House'The New Junction, 1888. The two pointsmen are Sir William Harcourt and Spencer Cavendish Hartington. Recently, two railways lines had combined at a key junction to put in a state of the art signalbox. However, the amount of levers threatens to pose a real difficulty, as does the fact that each of the railway lines has its own man in the box. From Punch, or the London Charivari, January 28, 1888.
