More about this scene
The narrow-gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway - affectionately known as 'Lil' Ratty' - opened in 1875, to link iron mines in Eskdale to the main line at Ravenglass. Restoration by a group of railway enthusiasts led to its reopening in 1960, and it is now a major tourist attraction. This view was taken near Eskdale in the 1950s.
