A coal train from Holditch Colliery pauses at the long closed Silverdale Station to collect the single line token. The loading bunker in the background was for coal from Silverdale Colliery just off to the right of frame. This section of the Newcastle to Market Drayton line was retained for a number of years as far as the Madeley chord to allow coal from Holditch and Silverdale to reach the West Coast main line.
