Tebay station site in 2007 viewed from a train in the down loop on the WCML. The branch to Kirkby Stephen (closed in 1952) veered away to the right in the distance, Tebay station itself closed in 1968.

From Dave Harries at 2008-09-23 11:31:17 : I had seen this photo of the Tebay station site on the 'Disused Stations' site and was wondering how it had been obtained. The fact that you got it from a train is interesting.
The only thing, however, is why does the track that the train was presumably on look off-centre? Did you point the camera out of the window of something? I ain't accusing you of doing anything illegal to geet the shot but I am just curious.

From at 2009-05-24 21:00:48 : It was an ECS move of loco-hauled stock, the train was put into the loop for operational reasons. As you know the gangway door windows are generally filthy so the photo was taken by pointing the camera out the drop-light. There was plenty of clearance between the loop and the down line as evidenced by the OLE masts.
