Crow Nest Junction

A 156/150 combination takes the Westhoughton and Bolton line at Crow Nest Junction. The tree to the left of the train marks the point where the branch to Blackrod diverged left, prior to closure in 1968. Up to that date the three-way junction was controlled by an L&YR box in the fork of the Westhoughton and Atherton lines.
