SURVIVING INFRASTRUCTURE
Brush Type4 47522 heads through Whitchurch on 31-3-86
Interesting that as late as 1986 the old steam age water tower has survived along with the column of a LNWR watercrane.
Still lots of sidings and obviously emaphores.
The view is of a train heading for Crewe and taken from near to the signal box. In those days locals used these walkways freely whereas today they would be out of bounds.
The picture quality may not be great but it does capture a long forgotten scene.
Withdrawal came in May 99 and the final cut/component removal at Wigan CRDC in July 2000
