![Hurlford 'box is basically closed completely, (and boarded up, as can be seen), despite the official party line that it's merely 'switched out' - has been for years anyway, and may now be officially in the ranks of the closed signalboxes on the line. Retention may be due to persistent rumours that W.H. Malcolm, or similar, was going to take over the former Johnnie Walker bonded stores at Barleith.<br><br>[Robert Blane 01/03/2011]](/images/54000/54176.jpg "Hurlford")
![By March 2013 all the track at Hurlford inside the boundary fence (quite literally) had been lifted although the shunt signal, and the main line ground signals at the crossover just north of the 'box, were still in position, and operational, I assume. Also, by that date, the main line connection had been partially dismantled in what has become normal Network Rail practice these days as far as I can tell, ie the frog removed and replaced with plain rail. In this case, the frog was simply dumped right there.<br><br>[Robert Blane 01/03/2013]](/images/54000/54157.jpg "Hurlford")
