Try parking up close to the site and if you look in the right place you see little camera in the trees move and point at you. It was rail connected but it is only a short low loader haul to Network Rail lines. Mostley ex WD 2-8-0s and some Stanier 2-8-0s with large hoppers of coal there also. Army trucks take in personel to maintain famililiarity with the machines and occasionally they must fire up because smoke can sometimes be seen. No coincidence that it isn't far from Lostock Hall and Lower Darwen sheds which were among the last steam shed closures. Honest. It's true. |

Isn't that all because there's probably ammunition stored there? |

As I understand it mostly small stuff like fuzes and caps since most of the site storage was lost with the demolition of the main Euxton site steveb |

Lower Darwen closed some years before the end of steam, IIRC. |
