This section features images on the Acton Grange Junction to Chester line which a lot of enthusiasts know it as the Frodsham / Helsby Line. There is also a connection at Helsby that goes to Ellesmere Port and this is also covered in this section. The main passenger trains that operate on this line are operated by Transport for Wales with the freight presence mainly provided by and the daily Colas Timber trains. DBS, Freightliner and GBRf make an occasional appearance. Fortunately, there is still semaphore signals around Helsby which make for more interesting image’s.

There are further images from the past (before 2010), on my 8A-Collection flickr site, please take a look if you have a minute or two.
