This photograph was taken looking back from a Glasgow to London train as it passed Farington Junction in June 1976. Waiting to join the WCML southbound on the curve from Lostock Hall Junction is a Class 40 and a dead electric locomotive on a freight train. Today the area to the left of the Class 40 is covered with housing and thick vegetation is on the right.
