Ramsgreave and Wilpshire
The change in gradient can be seen ahead of 156479 as it leaves Ramsgreave and Wilpshire for Blackburn and begins the descent to Daisyfield Junction. It was this steep gradient that necessitated the sand drag being installed at Daisyfield See image 26413 to protect the East Lancashire line junction when loose coupled diesel hauled freights were routed this way after the WCML was electrified.
