Garsdale Railway Station near Garsdale Head in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Cumbria.
The railway turntable had a wall of sleepers built around it to prevent locomotives being spun by strong winds, which happened in 1900, and was the inspiration for 'Tenders and Turntables' in the book, 'Troublesome Engines' by Rev W. Awdry.
The bronze 'Ruswarp' statue by JOEL at Garsdale Station on the Settle to Carlisle Line in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Cumbria.
Ruswarp's owner, Graham Nuttall of Burnley, was the first secretary of the Friends of the Line. He and Ruswarp both signed the petition to keep the line open. Both man and dog lived to see the Line's reprieve in 1989, but in January 1990 Mr Nutall died in the Welsh mountains and Ruswarp stayed with his master for 11 weeks. Ruswarp lived just long enough to attend his master's funeral.
