When I photographed this lovely box in October 1985, I managed a full fronted 3/4 shot from high up on the bank to the left. I tried to replicate the shot this time but was tharwted by excessive growth on the embankment. This is a shame as there is no other way to get close to it apart from the road bridge as here. Dalton Junction was built by the Furness Railway to its final box design and was opened in 1902 when the short link line was opened to save trains having to make the huge diversion into Barrow.
