Details

A Cravens Class 105 Power Twin DMU with Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M50764 at the rear, was hurtling downgrade at Hoghton with a Colne to Preston service on May 11th 1981. At the time, Hoghton was quite a rural location, with the former goods yard in use as an ex military vehicle sales dealer. The former Hoghton station, closed in 1960, was located beyond the level crossing. Today, the goods shed has gone, replaced by a housing, and the open aspect seen in this view has vanished - trees, unchecked lineside undergrowth and housing now being located on both sides of the railway.
