Summary

Description
English: Down WCML express passing Tebay Station.
View southward from the station footbridge, towards Lancaster, Preston and the South. Rebuilt 'Royal Scot' 7P 4-6-0 No. 46127 'Old Contemtibles' on the 09.05 Crewe to Perth express is about to tackle the formidable Shap Bank (5½ miles, mostly at 1-in-75). Behind the wall on the Down side is the Locomotive Depot, which housed the banking engines needed for freight trains, if not for this express. The hills (1,250 - 1,350 ft.) behind and across the Lune Valley are Jeffrey's Mount and Grayrigg Common - and of course it's raining! Tebay station was closed on 1/7/68.
