My love of the 9f has drawn me to look at this particular stretch of railway, after learning all I think Ill ever need to know on theyre other famous workings, such as on the S&D and ore trains on the Wirral.   now I dont know the area at all. and Ive previously steered clear of looking into it as I usually try and learn more about lines closer to home first.   from books and the internet it seems that theyres very little left now.   theyre seems a lot more info on the 9fs and previous
