I was fortunate to be on a tour inside Frankston's signal box to mark its 100th birthday. This lever-based box remains in service today.
Here's excerpts from speeches given at the Frankston CWA hall and a tour inside all three levels of the box.
Present were Frankston Mayor Cr Nathan Conroy, Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke MP and Public Transport Minister Ben Carroll.
My dad worked in the signal box. His name was Peter Tedde. I have many fond memories of visiting my dad there and watching him work in the signal box.
