EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Blast from the Past: The Water Crane of Settle-Carlisle Railway at Blea Moor, Yorkshire (1970s) 2.. Step back in time with this evocative black-and-white photograph of the Water Crane at Blea Moor, a vital component of the historic Settle-Carlisle Railway in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, England. Dating back to the 1970s, this image captures the essence of a bygone era when steam trains ruled the rails. The Settle-Carlisle Railway, a marvel of Victorian engineering, stretches over 71 miles from Settle in North Yorkshire to Carlisle in Cumbria, traversing the stunning Ribblesdale valley and the rugged Pennines. This water crane, located near the village of Dent or Horton-in-Ribblesdale, was an essential piece of infrastructure that ensured the smooth operation of the steam trains. The Water Crane, a simple yet ingenious device, was used to fill the steam locomotives' water tanks from the nearby Ribble River. The crane arm, extended over the river, would scoop up water and fill the waiting tender, which would then be coupled to the steam engine to provide the necessary water supply for the journey ahead. This photograph, taken in the 1970s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past when steam trains were the primary mode of transportation in the region. The image's timeless beauty and historical significance make it an invaluable addition to any collection of railway history or nostalgia. Join us on a journey through time as we explore the rich history of the Settle-Carlisle Railway and the essential role the Water Crane at Blea Moor played in its operation.
