Whitehouse West Junction
Stanier 2-6-4T 42645 comes off the North to West chord at Whitehouse West Junction heading for Southport on 4th September 1964, two days before the last services ran on this rural line. The other chord here allowed direct running from Southport to the East Lancashire towns and was well used by excursions in summer months. This picture was taken from the bridge that still carries the WCML. The trackbeds around the Whitehouse triangular junctions are now greenways. See image 71451 for a present day view of this location.
