Golborne, May Street, Colas 70806 (10.30 Chirk Kronospan - Carlisle N.Y) 24/01/21.
For three consecutive weeks the returning empty Chirk - Carlisle 'Logs' have run on a Sunday. So, with the onset of 'cabin fever' setting in I made the move locally to capture it.
Grimy Colas 'Warthog' 70806 reverberates towards May Street bridge at 14.11 today. Golborne South station was situated just beyond High Street bridge in the background, the platforms existed on the two slow lines on the right.
Golborne Colliery headshunt was to the right below me and loaded wagons would access the mainline on the right just before the bridge.
A very tall wooden LNWR starter signal existed just behind me on the Down slow and I can recall 8F's, Black 5's, 9F's and even ex-Crosti 9F's occasionally getting underway from here.
