Askam Ironworks Junction

156491 approaches the outskirts of Askam heading from Barrow to Carlisle on 18th May 2021. The Sprinter is just passing the point where a line branched off into Askam Iron Works, and a mineral line also passed overhead on its way to the Mouzell ironstone mine behind the hill on the left. The chimney stack behind the train belongs to the still operational Furness Brick Works.
