DRS 88007 hauls the 4S44 Daventry to Mossend intermodal service on 3 April 2021. The train is seen to the north of Farington Junction, approaching the site of Farington station (behind the camera) which closed in March 1960. Over a hundred years before that there had been a north facing junction (to the left of the loco) providing a connection to the East Lancs line but this was closed after the East Lancs Railway built its own line into Preston via Todd Lane Junction.
