A Northern Rail Leeds - Carlisle evening service catches the last of the sun as it passes over Ribblehead Viaduct, North Yorkshire, England. The 24 arches of this spectacular viaduct make a dramatic statement across this remote wild spot which up to a 100 Navvies died during it's 4 year construction in 1874.

A southbound EWS class 66 156 hauled permanent way drifts over summit at Ais Gill around the bend towards Garsdale head. In steam days the former signal cabin here would be a welcome sight for crews after the long climb up to the summit of the line at 1169 feet (356 m) above sea level at this lonely spot. Today, little evidence remains there was ever a signal cabin here (right side of the line, probably where the white portacabin is) and reverse sidings that ran each side of the running lines. Thankfully, the Cabin is still in existence, preserved by the Midland Railway Center in Butterley and removed from here in 1982. This view is from a small access bridge which marked the end of the sidings and the Cumbrian/Yorkshire border.

Opened in 1858 by the Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway, which the Great Northern Railway (GNR) took over in 1876. Annaghmore was served by GNR passenger trains between Belfast Great Victoria Street and Londonderry Foyle Road via Portadown. The GNR built a fruit store at the station for the considerable traffic of locally-grown produce mainly apples and strawberries, that it shipped out of the area by special trains. The Ulster Transport Authority took over the GNR's remaining lines in Northern Ireland in 1958 and closed the Portadown to Omagh section on 15 February 1965. The railway ran parallel from the right bottom corner hedge to the right of the main station building and beyond. After closure the railway became a garage for many years, nowadays it's lies derelict and abandoned. The site has full planning permission for apartments so it's future existence would seem very uncertain. h
