Very Unique Abandoned Level Crossing! Trafford Park Tenax Road Level Crossing, Manchester

Abandoned Trafford Park Tenax Road Level Crossing, Trafford Park, Manchester.
Location: Tenax Road, Trafford Park and Ashbridge, Trafford Park
Date Filmed: 25-11-2020
Located near to the Parkway roundabout and tram stop on Tenax Road. This is one of a couple of a few remaining examples of infrastructure from the old Trafford Park Railway, which is a disused railway that sprawls across the Trafford Park industrial estate. The network dated back as far as the early 1900s, but since fell into decline in the 1960s and had been neglected by the 1980s. The last trains stopped in 1998 so the railways and crossings have been abandoned since then.
A single railway line crosses a dual-carriageway road and two single-carriageway roads as part of a junction. This created a massive and very unique crossing which, as it stood on this date, had a total of eight halogen warning lights, seven alarms and two old halogen pedestrian lights. Most of the warning lights have faded borders and some bulbs and colour lenses are missing. One of the warning lights shown has light shades at opposing angles and one and another looks like its been hit. On another warning light, one of the alarms was dangling freely by its wire. This is one of the biggest and most unique abandoned crossings I have ever filmed and its a shame to see its been left abandoned and unused for so long.
Thanks For Watching!
