Having just crossed over the WCML (off picture to the left), a Cravens 105 DMU drops down the 1908 built curve to join it at Farington Curve Junction with a Colne - Preston service. Coming in from the right is the line from Liverpool / Ormskirk. The scene is little changed since the photograph was taken in June 1981 apart from the DMU itself and the Liverpool / Ormskirk line, which has since been singled.
