Description
DB Cargo class 66 locomotive 66168 trundles westbound on the Manchester to Wigan line via Atherton seen here approaching Crow Nest Junction at Hindley which joins the lines from Bolton.

Geography wise this road Jacks Lane is in Westhoughton area of Bolton but by only a few hundred yards or so. It's a tall bridge even with my small step to use.

The train was working the usual Wilton to Knowsley empty household waste train which will take another load back across to Teeside overnight via the lodger route down the WCML and across via Cheshire.
