The station was a very basic structure, built to serve the adjacent Vulcan Foundry engineering works. It had closed to passengers the previous year. The line was the original Warrington an Newton Railway, built in 1831 as a branch off the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and in 1837 becoming part of the Grand Junction Railway to Birmingham. The locomotive is 92116, a British Railways Standard Class 9 2-10-0 on a freight train.
