Whitrope Siding 050119_1141
Waverley Line 050119. The view from the front of Railbus RB004 as it leaves Whitrope Siding platform for the short trip to the northern end of the restored section of line at the entrance to Whitrope Tunnel. Class 26 no.26040 is a fairly recent arrival, but is not in a workable condition. Three carriages of different types, plus a couple of wagons and a engineers' vehicle are visible.
In the days before closure of the Waverley Line in January 1969 there was a siding here but there was never a station in this remote location, with a terrace of railway cottages as the only nearby habitation. The 1006ft summit of the route is about where the small yellow vehicle can be seen.
