edge hill was such a complicated area for railways, so have to bare with us here
blasting out into edge hill station from lime street in the early 50s
edge hill station in the 1960s, this jinty tank engine is about to push this train of vans up to the top of the gridiron. smoke is billowing out of waterloo tunnel in the background
this is looking the other way than the deltic diesel pic, taken from smithdown road in the early 60s, can see the gridiron sidings going up on the left, and the wagon repair shop on the left
a bit further along, and you can now see smithdown road bridge in the background, the gridiron is on the right, this train is heading towards manchester, the lines curving away to the left head towards wavertree and then london.mid 1950s
further down still and this is the site of the new wavertree technology park station, taken in the mid 50s, the first bridge is a railway line on the high level goods line, the next bridge is rathbone road
going back to edge hill, this train has taken the line to london, and is passing edge hill steam shed on the right, early 1950s
edge hill steam loco shed, in 1952, the gridiron sidings are in the background
the turntable at edge hill in the 50s, the shed building is in the background
loco spotters on edge hill shed in the late 1960s
more to follow shortly
