Ramsgreave and Wilpshire

Seen from the ornate road bridge that crosses the line just to the south of Ramsgreave and Wilpshire, 156487 is on the last few yards of the climb out of Blackburn and will then drop down through Langho into the Ribble Valley on its way to Clitheroe. 27th June 2014.John McIntyre's shot beyond the arched bridge 33117 perhaps illustrates the gradient better. (2022 update: Network Rail have installed a new bridge deck here and replaced the fences seen here with solid parapets.)
