Rail 2009 - WCML: Carlisle

60 photos which attempt to illustrate something of the history, geography and operations of Carlisle's railways. They begin with a look at the eastern approaches to Carlisle from Durranhill on the former Midland and North Eastern lines. But the bulk of the collection follows the WCML from Upperby through Citadel past Kingmoor and Mossband to Gretna Junction. Many of the photos were taken in autumn 2009, but some are earlier.
