Carlisle goods lines and depots, 2012

26 photos taken in 2012 of the rarely used Carlisle goods lines and former railway sites now in alternative use.

Former Rome Street Junction, Carlisle, Thurs 23 February 2012 1. Looking north from Currock Road, with the Maryport goods line at left. In the foreground is the severed goods line from Bog Junction. It used to take freight traffic through Dentonholme to Caldew Junction on the WCML, thus avoiding Citadel. There used to be a connection from the Maryport goods line to this avoiding line at Forks Junction, near the gasholder.
