Preston (Ribble Branch)
Northern 150138 slows for the Blackpool platform (1) at Preston station on 16 March 2012. In the foreground is the Preston Docks branch near the top of the 1:29 incline where it emerges alongside the station. The steepness of the climb, with its tight checkrailed curve, can be seen by the tapering brickwork. Prior to 1972 this view, taken from the Christian Road overbridge, would have included an elevated signal box that straddled this cutting.
