Farington Junction

Freightliner 66557 stands on the up fast just south of Farington Junction on 27 November 2011 with switch and crossing carriers, some in the 'transit' position and some at the rear which are still horizontal awaiting the Kirow cranes to come and collect the panels. The activity was associated with the relaying of Farington Junction. To the left of the railway is the Lancashire Enterprises Business Park, part of which was engulfed in flames on 21 December 2011, resulting in closure of the WCML.
