As it happens, I live very close to the remnants of this railway, though not much remains, only a crossing a few other bits still stand
You also lived in Manchester? Wow
Do you ever remember seeing the train at barton dock road?
Train it, plane it, you name it!

@GGF I still live around the Manchester area, though I don't remember seeing any locomotives at this railway, I only really remember just seeing what's left
My map will be from around 1990ish.

This is a really cool project you’ve undertaken. Industrial railroads are kind of the unsung heroes of transportation. Possibly going so far as to say unappreciated or even maligned.
Here in the US, there’s often a push to turn disused rail lines into hiking trails. I guess that with the numerous level crossing and the line running through (active?) industrial areas, that’s less attractive to local councils or agencies.
This is really Neat Super unique can't wait to see the map when its complete gg-fan
A problem I have is that a lot of lines are obliterated. Such as here :

Maybe in the fullness of time your map could have faint or dotted lines for track sections that have now been obliterated?
