Salford Central Railway Station
Salford Railway Station opened in 1838 as a terminus on the Manchester and Bolton Railway. The line was extended to Manchester Victoria in 1843 with the connection carried on iron columns.
The station was renamed Salford Central in 1988, to avoid confusion with the far more recently built Salford Crescent (built to replace nearby Pendleton railway station), although it is by no means central to Salford being sited on New Bailey Street, just over the River Irwell from Manchester city centre. It is very close to Manchester's Spinningfields district and the Deansgate area.
The station has only two platforms in current use (platforms 3 & 4 have been disused since the early 1990s). It is served by trains to and from Manchester Victoria, towards Rochdale, Salford Crescent, Bolton, Wigan Wallgate and beyond.

Eastbound empty stock train entering Salford Station
View westward, towards Windsor Bridge Junction, Wigan, Bolton, Liverpool, Preston, Southport etc.; ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire main lines west from Manchester Victoria. The e.c.s. train, with BR Standard 4MT 4-6-0 No. 75015, is headed for Manchester Victoria on the Up Slow line, the Salford signalbox being on the end of Platforms 3/4 at Salford (Salford Central from 4/10/88). The four lines westwards out of Manchester Exchange were right over to the left and had no platforms here; until it was closed on 4/2/57 the first station on those lines was at Ordsall Lane (for Salford). With eight busy lines at this point, Salford was another train-watcher's paradise.

A Down local train passing Salford Station
View eastward, towards Manchester Victoria; Lancashire & Yorkshire main line. The Class B train (running on the Down Fast) is hardly a 'local', as it is the 17.40 Victoria to Hellifield, via Bolton, Blackburn and Clitheroe, headed by Stanier 4P 2-6-4T No. 42472.

On the right are the railway lines that pass through Salford Central station. The lines on the left bypass the station. Those on the far left go on to the new Ordsall Chord. The new bridge can be seen just beyond the leftmost gantry.
