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.

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.

Eastern Region freight slipping westward through the LMR Manchester - Salford complex, 1962
View SE from the ex-L&Y Salford station across the ex-LNW lines westward from Manchester Exchange, whose first station west was Ordsall Lane, further on to the right. Few ER trains ran through Manchester this way, between countless LMR trains: this one is probably working between Dewsnap Sidings via Philip's Park to Trafford Park and is headed by No. 63794. The locomotive is basically a former GCR Robinson class 8K (LNER O4) 2-8-0s with a particularly complex history. It was built in 2/18 as ROD No. 1898, one of the 521 ordered in 1917-8 by the Government for service in the Great War, many of which spent their lives in the Middle East long afterwards. The majority never went overseas, and languished with numerous others in Store on dumps for several years until sold to one of the four main line Railways. The majority were purchased by the LNER, this one in 4/24 as No. 6277. During WW2 it was not one of those requisitioned for military service, but was loaned to the GWR 11/40 - 2/43; in 4/43 it was rebuilt by Thompson as an O4/7. It was renumbered 3794 in 1946, and under BR as No. 63794 it was radically rebuilt as a Class O4/8 in 5/57, being eventually withdrawn in 11/62.
