Thanks as always to everyone who's replied to my other topics.
I have re-worked a gradients profile for my old branch line, however I cannot find information as to the height above sea level for the two junctions that connected it to the East Lancashire line.
Using Internet sites, I can get close to the following:
Great Harwood Junction (Blackburn) approximately 435 feet.
Padiham Junction (Rose Grove / Burnley) approximately 430 feet.
Both junctions were indeed higher up than the line itself, but I was wondering if there is any historical railway information which would give the correct heights?
It's difficult with modern maps as both locations have been built over, and of course the line isn't there anymore.
Thanks,
Andy.
