Ordsall Lane railway lands 1977
The view east from Ordsall Lane no.4 signalbox shows a Newcastle-Liverpool train passing amidst a sea of disused railway facilities. Sidings on the left served a gasworks, disused by 1977 while those on the right were for reforming trains. The locomotive is about to pass over the junction between the line from Salford and the link toward Deansgate which physically diverged at Ordsall Lane no.2 signalbox. In the foreground are the remains of the former slow lines between Barton Moss Junction and Manchester Exchange station.
