Kirkby Stephen East: Kirkby Stephen Junction box was just west of the East station and was where the line from Barnard Castle via Stainmore split to run to either Tebay or Penrith. The shot dates from 11th August 1968 (the contributor had chosen to view the '15 Guinea Special' pass through Kirkby Stephen) and at that time there was still a track in use from Appleby to serve Merrygill Quarry which ran behind the signal box. The former line to Tebay ran to the front and had been lifted for some time having closed in 1962.
