Euxton Junction
Euxton Junction, May 1980, and 40112 is on the Down Slow with a mixed freight just about to pass under the M6 Motorway. It will take the East Lancashire line at Farington Junction and then join the Settle & Carlisle via the Blackburn to Hellifield line. The leading wagons are wooden bodied China Clays, some with roller bearings and the train is believed to be 7M86 from St. Blazey to Kingmoor. The china clay wagons would go forward from Carlisle to either Cadder or Corpach. [My thanks to Richard Adamthwaite for additional information about this working].
