Crown Street station, last remnant
Crown Street station was one of the first two railway stations in the world, along with Liverpool Road station, Manchester, which survives. Crown Street was superseded by Lime Street station in Liverpool in 1836 but became a goods depot. Until the reinstatement of the Olive Mount Chord in 2008, an old tunnel to Crown Street was used as sidings where locomotives could "run round" a train to reverse it. The picture shows the head of the siding (two lines enter the tunnel and join in the tunnel). An earlier view, from the opposite direction, with 25kV wires still in place, is at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/64494 .
