Description

The Saxby control cabin at the former station in Raeren is regarded as one of the few completely preserved installations of its kind. The invention by the Englishman John Saxby marked the beginning of safety technology in railway signalling: in this generation of control cabins, for the first time, it was only possible to set the points and the signals in mutual dependence. That ensured that the signalling always corresponded to the setting of the points. The interior of the Saxby control cabin can be viewed from a walk-on gallery on the control cabin building and visited on request in the Tourist Information in Raeren (+32 87 85 09 03, tourist-info@raeren.be).
