Settle Carlisle Railway Conservation Area (SCRCA) Term definition
A ground frame is a small trackside lever-frame used to operate points (more properly referred to as 'turnouts'), signals, crossing-gates, etc. Ground frames are mounted directly on the ground (hence their name), rather than within a signal box.
