Werribee Signal Box
In 1896 Werribee was interlocked with a 16 lever frame. This signal box was closed in 1910 when the frame was extended to 20 levers, and relocated to a new signal bay combined with the ticket office.
1917 saw a new 35 lever frame provided, presumably in the same spot. may 1927 saw the station catch fire, and a new frame was provided in February 1928. In 1931 a panel was provided for the remote control of Drome loop.
1963 saw an unusual set of manually control boom gates installed at Cherry Street, controlled by lever 19 on the frame. 1973 saw the abolition of the mechanical frame and replacement with a panel. Remote control of Little River was also provided at this time,until it was removed in 2006 when control was transferred to Geelong.
