And in its early days, long before more popular modes of transport, our county had hundreds of stations dotted around the rural areas as well as the cities and towns,.
These pictures wrap up long lost and forgotten scenes of the railways, some which have been lost to the history books whilst others are still cruicial transport links.
They remember the days of steam where people often recall the smell of the smoke as the trains thundered by. Packed platforms and lost scenes of those stations which are long gone. Do you have memories of our railways here in Lancashire?
