Ruswarp, Garsdale Railway Station

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.
