Up freight at Stockport Junction, Guide Bridge
View westward, towards Manchester (London Road and Central) on the ex-Great Central main line Manchester - Sheffield. Curving to the left is the ex-London & North Western line to Stockport, while to the right behind the train is the Joint line to Ashton and Oldham: Guide Bridge was a very important and busy junction on the east side of Manchester. The train is headed by ex-GC Robinson O4 2-8-0 No. 63743 - evidently recently overhauled.

Guide Bridge West Junction
The remaining connection at the west end of the station, leading off to Stockport. Until the early 1980s, this was a four-track railway, with multi-track junctions both left and right, all busy with freight. Recession, heavy industry's decline and catastrophic railway strikes in 1982 and 1984 changed the infrastructure utterly. For a view 25 years on, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3676972.

Guide Bridge West Junction
The remaining connection at the west end of the station, leading off to Stockport. Until the early 1980s, this was a four-track railway, with multi-track junctions both left and right, all busy with freight. Now the main line goes through to Manchester Piccadilly. The left fork is still used for freight and once a week only carries a service from Stockport to Stalybridge calling at Reddish South and Denton.

Local train from Oldham and Ashton approaching Guide Bridge station
The train has come off the former GC, LNW & L&Y Joint Oldham, Ashton & Guide Bridge Railway, which used to provide one of the several connections between the main lines on the east side of Manchester. This line remains open for freight, but passenger traffic ceased after May 1959. The locomotive is ex-GC Parker class 9F (LNER N5) 0-6-2T No. 69370 (built 3/1901, withdrawn 9/60). (See also Image).

Formerly Guide Bridge West Junction, the location has changed little in 25 years (see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/827960 ) apart from vegetation slowly enveloping the site.
