EWS 60025 "Caledonian Paper" Crossing Arten Gill

A glorious winter morning on the Settle and Carlisle sees EWS 60025 "Caledonian Paper" crossing Arten Gill with the Drax Power Station to Kirkby Thore gypsums. Groundwork for the viaduct was started by the Midland Railway in May 1870, with work on the viaduct itself beginning a year later, on 3 May 1871. In my opinion this is the most impressive viaduct on the line at 660 feet long and 117 feet high, with the parapets at 1,100 feet above sea level. The viaduct has 11 arches, each of which is 45 feet across.
