What do you plan to do when you are up there?

That's access to the signals for the maintenance people, not train drivers or signalers.... tho maybe if it was set in the 1960's when oil lamps lit the signals at night, you could climb up to re-light a lamp in stormy weather.

Hey, when we are at these signal boxes with no trains in sight, AND have to fight the new super-frequent AFK warnings, we gotta find S O M E T H I N G to do! Let us climb things! 😂

I'm always one to lower the tone....
It makes a change from some of the things real signalers got up to in the last century in UK signal boxes when they were bored:


From the British Medical Journals:

“A 65-year-old railway signalman was in his signal box when he 
bent down to pick up his tools and ‘caught his penis in a Hoover Dustette, 
which happened to be switched on’. He suffered extensive lacerations to the 
glans, which were repaired with catgut with a good result”.

A hoover dustette was a handheld vacuum cleaner, with the metal fan blades positioned only a couple of inches inside the nozzle 😧😬🤕
