The Settle to Carlisle Railway is a skilfully engineered main line railway, which runs through the rugged and beautiful northern Pennines. Busy with freight and passenger trains in the 1970s, it survived closure proposals in the 1980s.

Today, with its neighbouring railways from Skipton and Settle Junction to Carnforth, and Blackburn to Hellifield, it remains an important part of therail network.

This title tells the story of these railways and their trains through nearly 50 years of change, from the long wagonload freight trains of the 1970s, to diverted express trains of the 1980s, long distance coal trains, and the passenger and freight trains of today.

The reader is taken on a stunning photographic journey along the railways between Skipton and Carlisle, with a look at the lines to Blackburn and Carnforth too.

More than 200 photographs showcase the many changes in trains and motive power that have travelled the line, against a panoramic backdrop of the scenic northern fells in all their seasons, as well as impressive Victorian viaducts and stations, and signal boxes and semaphore signalling. Hardback. 160 pages.
