Chris Lowe's Transport Images (Train)
Manchester Museum of Science & Industry.
19th July 2008

A trip to the Manchester Museum of Science & Industry with my son saw me taking this collection of pictures of exhibits with local connections, either through operations or links to Railway Manufacturers in the Manchester area.

We also had a look round the site of the old Liverpool Road Station of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway which was the Manchester terminus between 1830 and 1844 until operations moved to Manchester Hunts Bank (later Victoria Station).
