Aftermath
45147 at Patricroft on 26th December 1984 after collision at Eccles earlier that month.
The loco appears to be stabled on a spur (long since lifted) that led to the old steam depot.
These were the days when the remnants of train crashes were left on view or partially covered up for a good while after the event. I remember seeing the sleeping coaches from the Taunton fire at the lineside for a long time after the incident in 1978.
