61379 Mayflower
6212y Kirkham West
There is still quite a lot of old infrastructure at Kirkham and Wesham, though the lack of semaphores kept our modern feet on the ground.
This shot is looking towards Blackpool from Bridge 25, a footbridge which should proved a superb vantage point when remodelling and electrification work gets cracking.
The train is heading away for camera. Immediately beyond Bridge 26 in the distance it will carry straight on for Blackpool North, swinging right to join the right pair of through tracks.
The relevant "TRACKmaps" (aka "Quail") map is Book 4, Map 49A (ISBN=978-0-9549866-7-4)
