Over 100 people gathered in Cumbria earlier this week to commemorate the Armathwaite signal box's 125th birthday.
On July 16 The Friends of the Settle-Carlisle Line (FoSCL), organised a celebratory guided seven-mile circular walk with an ascent of Coombs wood next to the banks of the river Eden.
Throughout the morning, volunteers, train guides, prominent members and officials of the Friends gathered to exchange stories and memories.
Visitor Jackie Ellis said: "It is all just wonderful - poignant even - to see the levers, bells, weights all still in situ even if these days they are non-operational (all that is done by soulless computer wizardry).
"None of that early team of Mike, the line operating manager, retired engineer Ray Ward and David Tomlinson, whose myriad talents remain impossible to quantify, are any longer with us, but what a mighty legacy they have left with their restoration efforts, completed in 1992."
