Newton-le-Willows
The old Liverpool and Manchester main line sees split headcode Class 40 40132 heading west and approaching Newton-le-Willows station with a train of oil tanks. The train is just passing Parkside Colliery, whose exchange sidings are in the foreground. The M6 Motorway overbridge can be seen in the background and Parkside's two modern winding towers were a prominent landmark to motorists for many years until they were demolished after its closure in 1993.
