Liverpool, Ormskirk and Preston Railway

Liverpool, Ormskirk and Preston Railway

Liverpool, Ormskirk & Preston Railway, was formed in 1846. It was purchased by East Lancashire Railway. Today the line still operates, with the section between Liverpool and Ormskirk forming part of Merseyrail's Northern Line and the section between Ormskirk and Preston operated by Northern Rail.

Documents from 1847 signed by Joseph Locke, Sturges Meek and Mackenzie, Brassey & Stephenson show elevations, plans and sections for bridges on line.
