Kelton Fell Quarry
The Rowrah and Kelton Fell Railway was a freight only line in West Cumbria that operated from 1877 to 1926. It was only three miles long but climbed 300' in those three miles. Much of the route survives including this embankment near the terminus. Knockmurton Iron Ore mine was off to the right, and the line also had a spur run back at this point to the Kelton Fell iron ore mine, off picture to the left. 18th January 2022. See image 79788 of a surviving locomotive from here.
