Waiting for signals, Vulcan Halt ? 1966
The station was a very basic structure, built to serve the adjacent Vulcan Foundry engineering works. It had closed to passengers the previous year. The line was the original Warrington an Newton Railway, built in 1831 as a branch off the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and in 1837 becoming part of the Grand Junction Railway to Birmingham.
The locomotive is 92116, a British Railways Standard Class 9 2-10-0 on a freight train.

The Vulcan Bowling Club
The Vulcan Works (operated by MAN B&W Diesel since 2000) closed at the end of 2002 and the business transferred to the MAN B&W Diesel Ltd, Mirrlees Blackstone
site at Stockport. The Vulcan Foundry was finally demolished in 2006 and the site was levelled to give way to a proposed urban village.
The bowling green at the north west corner of the site is all that remains.
