A Railwayman's View - BR Midland Region by Peter Collins > Cumbria > LPPC PHOT SCAN 0027
LPPC PHOT SCAN 0027 The majestic Settle and Carlisle line built by the Midland Railway is justifiably one of the great railways of the world, both to travel over and simply visit. Here, a journey to Dent village for refreshment necessarily preceded the long and steep climb to the station to be rewarded with the appearance across the valley of a Class 50 on a northbound freight crossing Dent Head Viaduct. Other than a curlew calling, the throb of the loco’s power unit was all that could be heard in the vastness of the landscape.
