'King of Edge Hill' ? 1966
At most large steam locomotive sheds, a particular locomotive was kept for use around the shed, known as a shed pilot. Its duties would including moving 'dead' locomotives, or as here, moving coal and ash wagons around the area. 47406 has been given an unofficial name, chalked on the side, reflecting this role. It is one of the class of 0-6-0T engines known as 'Jinties' designed for the Midland Railway and built in large numbers by its successor the LMS Railway for general shunting and local traffic work.
This particular locomotive has survived into preservation and is currently (2021) at the Great Central Railway https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5572776

The lost chord is re-opened
Known as the Olive Mount Chord, the short stretch of track from here to just beyond the far portal has just been reinstated at a cost of £7.6m. It enables freight trains going to and from Seaforth and Bootle Docks to access the Liverpool - Manchester line directly, instead of spending 40 minutes shunting round at Edge Hill, where they had to cross busy passenger lines. As seen from the 12.01 from Newton-le-Willows.
