Seen from a passing railway train bound for Froghall. This line, currently not in use (apart from as a siding), goes to Stoke-on-Trent via Endon. To the left of the signal box, Churnet Valley Railway steam hauled trains go as far as Kingsley and Froghall station via Cheddleton. The line from Cauldon Lowe, and those to Leek and Stoke are owned currently by the Moorland and City Railways Company, with active plans to reopen lines as far as Leek and Stoke (via Endon), and agreements are likely that CVR will have access to all of its tracks. https://www.churnet-valley-railway.co.uk http://www.mcrailways.co.uk
