CHALLENGING LOCATION.. - a photo on Flickriver

            Brush Type4 47334 heads alongside Brook Lane in Chester on the old CLC line sadly now lost taken in May 1984. The train is just heading over the Chester to Rock Ferry line but this is just out of view.

Before the advent of RTT's and other information services obtaining photographs of trains on this line was always difficult. Add the traffic to this meant the view could easily be lost. There always seemed to be more light engine movements than you might normally expect.

Back in 1972 [I think] I was working at Chester Zoo and used to go over the line along Liverpool Road. Being on the upstairs of a bus gave a good view of the line and much to my surprise saw two class40 hauled train passing each other. Only the once mind you.
