Great Harwood Junction

195122, heading towards Rishton and Accrington in September 2023, has just passed the old Great Harwood Junction and is now approaching the site of Whitebirk Power Station. Prior to 1964 the North Lancashire (Padiham) Loop ran through a cutting to the left of the DMU, but a photo from here would not have been possible as the bridge was only installed post closure when the local business park was built.
