I dont know where this section of track is, but You can just make out the westwood power stations chimneys through the mist.

I'd say they're towards the north end of Ince Moss Sidings, near the Liverpool line junction. West Coast Main Line is to the right of the picture and the bridge in the distance is Cemetery Road.

Remember having to go to the Eastern region, in the 70's to see these. We knew them as Brush type 2's. Am I right?
