Limestone and Gritstone.

The last rays of the sunshine of a freezing 18 November 1995 illuminate the Railway Technical Services’ red and grey livery of 47972 “The Royal Army Ordnance Corps”, and the Intercity livery of its train, the diverted 1030 Euston – Glasgow, as they climb the Long Drag at Selside Shaw.

 

Although the gritstone projection of Pen-y-Ghent dominates this scene, it is mainly limestone that permeates the landscape with rocky outcrops, drystone walls and limestone pavements strewn across it.
