Gannow Junction is where the Colne branch diverges from the Copy Pit line. Immediately below the junction is the western portal of Gannow Tunnel (559 yards long) on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. The tunnel doesn't take the canal under the railway, although it does cross the line near the eastern end at Burnley Barracks station. In this view a Sprinter heading for Colne can just be seen top right.
