Kolej Ravenglass & Eskdale została pierwotnie zbudowana w 1873 r. Głównym jej celem było transportowanie żelaza z kopalni koło miejscowości Boot. W 1875 r. zostały również uruchomione komercyjne usługi ruchu pasażerskiego, dzięki czemu Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway była pierwszą publiczną koleją wąskotorową w Anglii. Linia ta została chwilowo zamknięta w 1913 r. z powodu wyczerpujących się ilości rudy żelaza i spadającej liczby pasażerów. Jednakże w środku Wielkiej wojny zapotrzebowanie na żelazo pozwoliło uruchomić ponownie wydobycie, a wraz z tym i kolej.
W 1915 roku roku inżynierzy kolejowi i twórcy miniaturowych modeli WJ Bassett-Lowke i R Proctor-Mitchell nabyli linię kolejową jako bazę do testowania swoich małych lokomotyw w dość trudnych warunkach. Orginalny prześwit torów 3stóp(91,44cm.) został zmieniony na mniejszy 15 calowy(381mm.) i do dziś jest z powodzeniem użytkowany. W 1946 r. linia przeszła na własność Keswick Granite Company, która w 1953 r. postanowiła zaprzestać wydobywania granitu. Z wyjątkiem lat drugiej wojny światowej, ruch pasażerski był kontynuowany przez cały czas. Ponownie linia i wyposażenie były oferowane na sprzedaż, niestety bez poważnego potencjalnego nabywcy ogłoszono zatem , że sezon 1958-59r. będzie ostatnim. Zawiązało się towarzystwo ochrony kolei Ravenglass i Eskdale przez entuzjastów. W 1960 roku dwie najbardziej zainteresowane osoby chcące uratować małą kolej-Colin Gilbert, makler giełdowy z Midlands i Sir Wavell Wakefield, lokalny właściciel ziemski, wygrali aukcję z ceną zakupu, 12 000 funtów,po czym linia ta stała się ich własnością. W 2005 r. rozpoczęto prace nad budową nowej stacji końcowej i centrum dla zwiedzających w Dalegarth, a w 2012 roku zakończono projekt renowacji stacji Muzeum.
Na zdjęciu class 2-8-2 „River Esk” wjeżdża na stację docelową w Ravenglass. Parowóz zbudowany w 1923 roku przez Davey, Paxman Ltd z Colchester projektu Henrego Greenly dał lokomotywę zdolną do pracy z ciężkimi pociągami z granitem. Nazwa tej lokomotywy pochodzi od miejscowej rzeki.

The Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway was originally built in 1873. Its main purpose was to transport iron from the mine near Boot. Commercial passenger services were also launched in 1875, making the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway the first public narrow gauge railway in England. This line was temporarily closed in 1913 due to the depletion of iron ore and declining passenger numbers. However, in the midst of the Great War, the need for iron allowed mining to restart, and so did the railroad.
In 1915, railway engineers and miniature model makers WJ Bassett-Lowke and R Proctor-Mitchell acquired the railway line as a base for testing their small locomotives under rather difficult conditions. The original 3-foot track clearance (91.44 cm.) Has been changed to a smaller 15 inch (381 mm.) Track and is still successfully used today. In 1946, the line became the property of the Keswick Granite Company, which in 1953 decided to stop mining granite. With the exception of the years of the Second World War, passenger traffic continued throughout. Again the line and equipment were offered for sale, unfortunately without a serious potential buyer it was therefore announced that the 1958-59 season. will be the last. Enthusiastic Ravenglass and Eskdale Railroad Protection Society was formed. In 1960, the two most interested people to save the little railroad, Colin Gilbert, a Midlands stockbroker, and Sir Wavell Wakefield, a local landowner, won an auction with a purchase price of £ 12,000, after which the line became their property. In 2005, work began on the construction of a new terminus and visitor center in Dalegarth, and in 2012 the renovation project for the Museum Station was completed.
Pictured is the class 2-8-2 "River Esk" arriving at its destination station in Ravenglass. A steam locomotive built in 1923 by Davey, Paxman Ltd of Colchester designed by Henry Greenly gave the locomotive capable of handling heavy granite trains. The name of this locomotive comes from the local river.

A Photo from Day 5 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.
Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.
There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.
Here, at Cranmore Station, a cab photo of 46447 which has just powered the return journey the Steam Train I have a ticket for.
46447 is a Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.

Physical evidence of the mishap at Quorn on Saturday. The tender brake hangers on Ivatt Class 2 2-6-0 46521 took a beating during the derailment and the guard iron on the left has been sheared off. The most serious damage was having to flame-cut the drawbar to separate tender & engine so they could be rerailed but apparently there is a replacement available. Our resident strongman will just bend these bars straight again. ;-)
As someone else notably said, " the paperwork will probably take longer than the engineering work needed to repair the engine".
Update May2013: the last statement was true because 46521 was back in service last week and the inquiry recommendations are still awaited.

Ivatt class 2 2-6-2T no. 41241 awaits departure from Keighley in October 1973. Built by BR at Crewe in 1949, the loco was originally allocated to Bath Green Park for work on the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway. She was withdrawn from service from Skipton depot in 1966, prior to preservation on the Worth Valley line.
The stone offers a large Christian Cross next to the roadside. Possibly once ornate coloured this elaborately carved stone has been a great decoration along this route for around one thousand years. On the side of the stone facing away from the road there is superb hunting scene. The carvings overall are assigned to a Pictish style and the stone is thought by many to be carved at the time of the Picts taking on Christianity as their religion. The move from Pagan to Christian iconography is easily seen in the Cross decoration. The working of the Cross and the style of the figures on the reverse indicates this was the Picts carving the stone. The stone may have once held Pictish Symbols on both sides and the Cross may have been used to cover one face and to purify the other. Easter Ross in northern Scotland, notable
The Hilton of Cadboll stone from Easter Ross in northern Scotland has a closely similar hunting scene to Aberlemno 3 it is now in the Museum of Scotland.

Aberlemno 3 like all of the stones at Aberlemno is the an amazing stone monument. The stone beautifully embraces the symbols inscribed by the Picts. The stone as seen from the roadside is a superb emblematic enigma. The symbols have historians, archaeologist and many interested parties proposing possible interpretations of the many Pictish Stones that have been found in Scotland. The Picts left no written accounts and the symbols need to be seen with a Pictish mind-scape, a glimpse into what the symbols meant for them. Whilst the debate continues the stones still attract much attention, they a beautiful and there human artistic sculpting definitely talks to the human consciousness. The contemporary voice from and with the stones gives ideas of raising a commemorative monument for a grave, boundary or ritual marker.

Aberlemno 3 is classified under the J Romilly Allen and Joseph Anderson's survey as a Class II stone.
Pictish stone - Classification
Class I — unworked stones with symbols only incised. There is no cross on either side. Class I stones date back to the 6th, 7th and 8th century.
Class II — stones of more or less rectangular shape with a large cross and symbol(s) on one or both sides. The symbols, as well as Christian motifs, are carved in relief and the cross with its surroundings is filled with designs. Class II stones date from the 8th and 9th century.
Class III — these stones feature no idiomatic Pictish symbols. The stones can be cross-slabs, recumbent gravemarkers, free-standing crosses, and composite stone shrines. They originate in the 8th or 9th century. Historic Scotland describes this class as "too simplistic" and says "Nowadays this is not considered a useful category. A surviving fragment may belong to a monument that did include Christian imagery".

LMS Ivatt Class 2 2-6-0 No. 46443 departs Kidderminster with Observation Saloon No. W80972W with a private charter run to Bridgnorth
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) is situated at the far end of the Network Rail branch which diverges from the Berks & Hants route at East Somerset Junction, Witham. This branch line principally serves the huge Merehead Quarry; it then continues beyond the junction to the quarry to become the ESR, the boundary being identified by a set of catch-points just short of Cranmore station (which provides sufficient room for the heritage line locomotives to run-round)
The line originally went through to Yatton on the Bristol to Exeter line via Wells and Shepton Mallet. The through route closed to passengers in 1963 and fright in 1969, although a bitumen service continued to serve Cranmore until 1985.
The Cranmore station site was purchased by railway & wildlife artist David Shepherd in 1971 as a base for his locomotives, Class 9F No. 92203 and Class 4MT No. 75029. After site clearance the ESR opened in 1973, and were eventually able to use the main station at Cranmore following the cessation of the bitumen traffic. David Shepherd built a Great Western-design locomotive depot just to the west of the station, and since the line has been extended to a new terminus at Mendip Vale, situated on the outskirts of Shepton Mallet.
The original station building is situated at the far end of the platform (towards the end of the train), while a newer purpose built station and ticket office has been constructed sine (to the right of the telephone box) which contains a shop and refreshment facility.
