The view from the signal box towards Wisbech was hardly inspiring.

The line from March to Kings Lynn via Wisbech closed on 9th September 1968, the same day as the Kings Lynn to Dereham, quite a blow to railways in this part of East Anglia. However the March to Wisbech section remained open for freight after this date with 2 trains daily one in the morning, the other in the afternoon. The rostered locomotive being a Brush Type 2 until around December 1972 when the rostered locomotive became a 350 hp shunting locomotive.
