The Settle-Carlisle Railway
This is not a narrow gauge railway journey but a trip through some of the most impressive scenery to be found in the country. The Settle-Carlisle begins its Cumbrian section at the station of Kirkby Stephen located about 1 ½  miles from the town centre. The full 72 miles of track from Settle in Yorkshire to Cumbria’s capital of Carlisle was completed in 1876 after 6 years of toil by a workforce of around 6000 and is the last great railway to be built in this country. It was a marvel of engineering for it’s time with 17 viaducts including the 24 arch Ribblehead Viaduct, and 14 tunnels. The late Bishop Eric Treacey,  well known for his railway photography, held the opinion that this railway, together with Hadrians Wall and York Minster, were the main man-made wonders of the world. A daily service operates with modern diesel units calling at the stations of Appleby, Langwathby, Lazonby and Armathwaite. Steam charters operate during the summer months but normally do not stop at the local stations.
