Stainmore And Eden
Valley Railways
£16.00
The Stainmore line was the most spectacular of the trans-Pennine crossings. Memories of the magnificent viaducts at Deepdale & at Belah carrying this marvellous railway from the River Tees to the Eden Valley still remain 50 years after their destruction. The line between Barnard Castle & Tebay together with its associated branches was completed during the 1860s & remained in operation for almost a century. However from about 1960 the now familiar 'closure by stealth' tactics became painfully evident & the last passenger train ran on 20 January 1962. The transition from a fully operational route to a memory took place in an unbelievably short time. In the summer of 1961 thousands of north-eastern holidaymakers were transported by train in time-honoured fashion over the rooftop of England to Blackpool enjoying unrivalled views of Westmorland as their trains rumbled over Belah Viaduct & brushed through the woodlands at Smardale. Little did those passengers realise that less than one year later most of the track over which they were travelling would be gone & demolition would be well under way. ...
