Can anyone tell me more about works railway?

-

I found the recent article on Baggeridge steam engines very interestin­g, and it made me think of my time at BIP Chemicals. When I first joined in 1968, throughout the site there were railway lines and loco shed, but no engine. The lines I assume connected to the railway siding between Tat Bank Road and Rood End Road.

I would be grateful if any of your readers could give any details on the operation of the railway – ie: type of engine used. A photo would be appreciate­d. Also the type of goods transporte­d, and when did it cease?

How long was it in operation for, and what happened to the railway stock too?

While I was at BIP Chemicals, goods were transporte­d by road to the site.
