Helmshore
If the East Lancashire Railway's original preservation plans had come to fruition this viaduct, over the River Ogden, would be carrying steam trains from Stubbins Junction to Grane Road. However, in 1972, the preservation society moved from Helmshore to Bury to concentrate on reopening the line to Rawtenstall and the tracks on the former line to Accrington, closed in 1966, were lifted.
