DescriptionSalford railway station 2117065 2ffabaf1.jpg
English: Eastbound empty stock train entering Salford Station.
View westward, towards Windmill 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.
