These photographs taken over a couple of years are of 'The Whiston Incline' that was a big problem during the Rainhnill Trials of October 1829 to all competitors with the exception of 'Robert Stephenson and Company' who built the Rocket.

The first wasn't taken by me, I may be old but not that old.

The final one was taken on Wednesday morning 11.02.2015

Love the different colours of nature in all the pictures. Do you know there is no such colour as black in nature?

I looked at those for ages, playing "spot the difference". Fascinating shots for such a short length of track!
