![The station and signal box at Warcop, Cumbria, on the Eden Valley line, photographed looking north west on a fine afternoon in May 2006. The station closed to passengers in 1962 and the line back to Appleby in 1989. Warcop is now the headquarters of the Eden Valley Railway. [See image 32774]<br><br>[John Furnevel 11/05/2006]](/images/45000/45155.jpg "Warcop")
![BR class 205 <I>'Thumper'</I> DEMU no 205009 in Connex livery, standing in the sidings at Warcop on the Eden Valley Railway on 11 May 2006. Built at Eastleigh in 1957, the unit had been withdrawn from operational service at the end of 2004. <br><br>[John Furnevel 11/05/2006]](/images/49000/49617.jpg "Warcop")
![RSH 0-6-0 diesel hydraulic shunter <I>Darlington</I> (RSHD8343/1962), similar to the BR Class 04 design, stands at Warcop on the Eden Valley Railway in May 2006. <br><br>[John Furnevel 11/05/2006]](/images/49000/49687.jpg "Warcop")

![The surviving signal box at Cliburn, Cumbria, in May 2006. Located on the northern section of the Eden Valley line, the station closed to passengers in 1956 with the line itself closing completely 6 years later. View is east over the site of the old level crossing, with the former station building, now a private residence, located off picture to the right [see image 35003].<br><br>[John Furnevel 11/05/2006]](/images/57000/57341.jpg "Cliburn")
![Warcop, with added sidings. View north west towards Appleby in July 2006.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford 03/07/2006]](/images/9000/9905.jpg "Warcop")
![Looking east to the station. Coal drops and the line were to the left.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford 27/09/2006]](/images/11000/11769.jpg "Clifton Moor")
![The station looking east. I can just about picture the two platforms ...<br><br>[Ewan Crawford 27/09/2006]](/images/11000/11770.jpg "Clifton Moor")
![The level crossing gates and goods shed at Appleby East in February 2007. The station is to the right of the picture (towards Warcop). Passenger services were withdrawn in 1962 but freight remained between Appleby and Hartley Quarry until 1974 when it was cut back to Warcop serving the Army camp and training area until 1989. Appleby East yard and station is now the site of a local recycling company although the present Eden Valley Railway hopes to reopen the line from its base at Warcop to Appleby East.<br><br>[John McIntyre 18/02/2007]](/images/21000/21207.jpg "Appleby East")
![Between Penrith and Appleby lies Cliburn, closed in 1956 six years before the line itself. The station is now a private residence and the signalbox, a remarkable survivor, is currently under restoration. View east from the site of the level crossing along the old trackbed towards Kirkby Thore and Appleby. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 12/10/2009]](/images/25000/25821.jpg "Cliburn")
![Musgrave, on the link from Penrith to the <I>Stainmore Line</I> between Kirkby Stephen East and Appleby East, served a very rural location and closed in 1952, ten years before passenger services actually ceased on the line itself. The small station building, dating from 1860, has made a very attractive residence as seen in this view from the road in August 2010. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 14/08/2010]](/images/30000/30320.jpg "Musgrave")
![The station building at Appleby East, closed in 1962, still stands in excellent condition. The local school car park wall almost conceals the fact that, even though the line to Warcop hasn't been lifted, the whole of the station area is now occupied by a vehicle dismantlers with scrap cars covering the site. This view looks south towards Warcop. [See image 18204] showing the same location in 1983. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 14/08/2010]](/images/30000/30390.jpg "Appleby East")
![37250, in faded Transrail livery, stands amidst the Southern Region EMUs in Warcop station yard, but on an isolated length of track. This well travelled loco had a spell operating in France prior to its withdrawal by EWS in 2000. It was purchased privately and moved to the Eden Valley Railway in 2008.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 14/08/2010]](/images/30000/30558.jpg "Warcop")
![Just to the north of Appleby East, on the now disused line to Penrith, is this level crossing beyond which the rails continue to a headshunt with a trailing link to Appleby (West). The line closed to passengers in 1962 but this section remained open for freight to Warcop until 1989. [See image 21207] for the <I>view</I> in the opposite direction from the same point. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 14/08/2010]](/images/31000/31065.jpg "Appleby East")
![37250 on the Eden Valley Railway at Warcop in September 2010. The locomotive is now resident on the Wensleydale Railway. [With thanks to Andy Ripley] [See image 20806]<br><br>[John Furnevel 25/09/2010]](/images/31000/31317.jpg "Warcop")
![Transrail grey liveried 37250 standing in the sidings at Warcop on the Eden Valley Railway on 25 September 2010.

![Scene on the Eden Valley Railway at Warcop on 25 September 2010. 37250 (formerly D6950), withdrawn from Eastfield at the end of 2007, stands in the sidings. (The locomotive was in 'Transrail' livery at this time.) <br><br>[John Furnevel 25/09/2010]](/images/62000/62955.jpg "Warcop")
![D6742 emerged from the Vulcan Foundry in June 1962 and was initially allocated to Darnall shed, Sheffield. Subsequently renumbered 37042 it was later acquired for preservation and arrived at the Eden Valley Railway Centre at Warcop in April 2011. The locomotive is seen here on 7 July 2012 standing in the PW yard to the south east of the station. <br><br>[John Furnevel 07/07/2012]](/images/39000/39596.jpg "Warcop")

![Temple Sowerby, between Penrith and Appleby, closed to passengers in 1953, nine years before the Stainmore line itself. This view shows the station house, now a private residence. The <I>Disused Stations</I> website also shows the station itself which is joined on to this building but not visible from the public road. (Map Reference NY613259). Nearby Kirby Thore station, closed on the same date, has not been so fortunate and disappeared completely when the A66 trunk road was realigned. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 27/11/2012]](/images/41000/41245.jpg "Temple Sowerby")
![The gates on Station Road at Appleby East in April 2014. The crossing has become much more dilapidated and overgrown in recent years. [See image 21207] [Ref query 5454]<br><br>[Bill Jamieson 24/04/2014]](/images/47000/47473.jpg "Appleby East")
![37042 at Warcop on the Eden Valley Railway, 11 January 2016, looking very forlorn. Built by English Electric at their Vulcan Works in Lancashire in 1962.<br><br>[Alan Cormack 11/01/2016]](/images/58000/58741.jpg "Warcop")
![Two images of the Eden Valley Railway at Warcop. The upper view looks north west showing the railway running alongside the fence of Warcop army camp towards Appleby. The lower image looks back towards Warcop station, its approach road and the EVR preservation base on 15th April 2017.

![<I>Thumper in the woods</I>. DEMU 205009 returns to Warcop after an Easter Saturday trip along the 2.2 mile operational section of the Eden Valley Railway. These Southern units never ran on BR in Carmine & Cream livery but it creates an attractive appearance.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 15/04/2017]](/images/59000/59073.jpg "Warcop")
