High Harrington station on the Cleator Moor to Workington line
A passenger train leaving High Harrington station in 1920,
believed to be the 2.23 to Workington Central station, the
station master John Rae is nearest the train and the clerk
Albert Greatorex is walking back along the platform.
 Today's view of the same stretch as above (now the cycle path) from the remains of the platform under the main road bridge. |

Copperas Hill station was used by passengers from 1912 to 1921

 Church Rd. station was up to the left |
The remains of the Rosehill/Archer Street station which
was closed to passengers in 1926.
Stanley Jackson's scrapbook says that this is a passenger train standing in Lowca Station consisting of Furness Railway Company's loco number 92 and five coaches and that the photo was probably taken in 1913 which is when the passenger service was started.
It has subsequently been suggested that it is in fact taken at Bucks Hill Colliery near
Great Broughton.
