'River Mite' draws onto the turntable at Dalegarth station, eastern extremity near Boot of the 15in/381mm gauge Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. The 2-8-2 locomotive has just arrived with the 12.50 service from Ravenglass. Named after one of three rivers to converge on Ravenglass, she was built in 1966 and is turned out in an approximation of the Furness Railway's 'Indian red' livery. 'River Mite', who entered traffic in 1967, was built by Clarkson's of York. Twenty-four feet long, she is owned by the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Preservation Society. @13.36
