Cadishead (2nd station)

INFORMATION
Both 1st stations at Cadishead and at Partington were left as terminal stops for goods traffic use only when the Manchester Ship Canal was opened and that through line was severed. The 2nd stations were connected by the line that ran over the high canal overbridge.
