Some
pictures taken on a trip to the area around Stanlow, noted for
its oil refineries, starting with the Manchester Ship Canal
Railway at Ellesmere Port, where Sentinel no. 3001 (10144 of
1963) is seen in action on some oil tanks. (all 31st October
1986) |
 |
 |
The
Shell refinery at Stanlow was home to several locomotives at the
time - mostly Thomas Hill "Vanguards", such as no. 5
(220V of 1970) |
 |
A
little further east is Helsby Junction, where the line from
Ellesmere Port joins the main Chester - Warrington line. The
"Peaks" were still much in evidence at that time... |
 |
 |
...but
so were the 47s, such as this one on the Weaver Viaduct near
Frodsham |
