Introduction
The photograph on this page of Timber sleepers outside Preston by Stephen Craven as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

It is unusual these days to see timber sleepers still in use on a main line. But this easternmost track of the lines north of Preston station is probably left over from the former Longridge branch that diverged from the main line just north of this point. If I have the location correct, the brick pier to the right of the photo is part of Marsh Lane bridge - see Image
