View westward, towards Blackpool and Fleetwood. This is another shot taken on the thrilling Summer Saturday (1 August 1959) I spent there, cf. SD4632 : Salwick Station, with trains racing: here the trains are coming from Blackpool - the opposite direction. On the left is Hughes/Fowler 5P4F 2-6-0 No. 42775 on an unidentified Relief, that on the right is headed by Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 No. 45428 on the 09.35 Blackpool North to Nottingham. No. 45428 has been preserved on the East Lancashire Railway and nowadays carries a nameplate, 'Eric Treacy' - in memory of the celebrated railway photographer and Bishop of Wakefield.
