Pump it

I liked this old house as it looked out of place and the fuel pump in someone’s garden was a nice touch.

Ravenglass

This is the town itself. Not much to speak of, more like out of a spooky film.

Yellow Earth

Sand and sky. Well not quite, it is just a brown aggregate really; quite firm.

Some more views of the estuary. What you don’t see here is that it was very windy, just like today really.

Picking Up Steam

I realise the pictures do not do it justice, but to see a train, however small, pick up steam as it rumbles towards you, is an amazing sight.

What’s in a Name?

A lovely name, named after the local river in the next few photos. You can see the river from the train for some of the journey.

Pocket Train

Another turntable this time at the other end of the line. I’m told this was an old stone quarry line.

Green and Verdant Station

It is nice to see a station called The Green. All stations should be green and pleasant, but they are usually concrete and stone.
