Really surprised that Barnetby is still a semaphore oasis, as it's now trapped between Lincoln and Grimsby which are both MAS. Great video considering the weather.
@LeamingtonSteve No it wasn't. The signal was frozen up, so could not be cleared. The loco had to pass it at danger, but not without permission from the Signaller. There's a world of difference between passing signals at danger with permission & SPAD's.
VERY NICE PICTURES IN THE SNOW

That sight could so easily be 50 years ago, apart from the loco livery/modifications...
