Very rare livery - the only green pre-TOPS example with double arrows. There is a cable stretched across the track in front of the loco which may be why it has stopped.Roger NewmansatsLooking at this photo in close-up, what is referred to as a wire across the track is, I believe, a stay wire attached to a signal post located in the 6'. The Type 2 is probably waiting for it to clear towards the junction. See Pennine Heritage website and seek out a photo Dry Clough Junction, Halifax which shows the two signal posts at this location at an earlier time period.
