Elastic Load.
Evidence of West Cumberland’s iron making past is manifest here north of Whitehaven on 24 March 1997 with the arches of old kilns or furnaces seen above the locomotive.
The two piers on the left and the building of unknown purpose behind them are no longer there. Also long gone is Workington’s Rail making plant just visible on the horizon above that strange building behind the pair of piers. It was the Workington plant - of course - that rolled the continuous welded rail - seen here on 6L18 behind 37371 – whose amazing flexibility allows them to faithfully follow the curvature of the track here at Redness Point.
