Daisyfield

A Clitheroe to Manchester service, with 150149, draws past the now defunct sand drag at the foot of the gradient from Ramsgreave. The train runs over the short single line section through closed Daisyfield station to join the East Lancashire line at Daisyfield Junction. The old sand drag, which stems from the days when unfitted freights were diverted away from the electrified WCML to run via the Settle and Carlisle, is piled high with concrete sleepers in readiness for Sunday engineering work.
