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

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".

After a service life of a mere 11 years and 9 months, condemned Ivatt 2-6-0 No. 46525 is temporarily stored at Oxley shed while en route from Shrewsbury to Cashmore's, Great Bridge for scrapping on 3rd April 1965.
Also present is BR 0-6-0 diesel shunter No. D3038 which also had a relatively short life. It was put into service in November 1953 at Oxley and withdrawn from service in December 1972 at Longsight, As a consequence, it never received a TOPS number.

During a trip to SARM in Oak Ridge, TN, on New Years of 2022, we documented dozens of rare locomotives in their collection, including former Southern Railway 2608, the classic Tuxedo paint scheme and faint lettering still visible to the naked eye if you look close enough. After finding new life on the Walden's Ridge Railroad, noted by the WRRX reporting marks, the unit now resides in the deadlines. This string of locomotives and rolling stock was tucked out of the way, however a security guard gave us guided access to the to the otherwise locked away area to grab a few photos. Looking back, that was probably a bold move considering what the site is, however at least we documented it.

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.
