The Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway.

Ravenglass Station.
The Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Narrow-Guage Railway runs from Ravenglass to Dalegarth Station  near the village of Boot in Eskdale in the Lake District. The line opened in 1875 to transport hematite iron ore from mines around Boot to the Furness line at Ravenglass.
It was many years since last visiting the railway and doing some of the walks from the various stations but I was pleased that it was much as I remembered it.
