I visited the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway on the 30th May 2013 while on holiday in the Lake District. Locomotives Wroxham Broad from the Bure Valley Railway and Samson from the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway had been brought in to keep the railway running after River Mite, River Irt and River Esk had been severely damaged in a workshop fire. Unusually, replacement passenger services from the Perkins diesel were provided, in place of Lady Wakefield who is receiving an overhaul.

DID YOU KNOW: Wilbert Awdry, author of The Railway Series (Which later inspired the television series Thomas the tank Engine and friends), based one of his 26 books on this railway. In it, he wrote about three "small engines;" Rex, a green engine who was based on "River Esk," Bert, a blue engine based on "River Irt," and Mike, a red engine based on "River Mite."

I'm writing a kids' cartoon about (mostly) animal characters, in a fictional national park, that has a rail-link based on this line... I know Beatrix Potter took a lot of her influence from the Lake District, as did the creator of Postman Pat. This place continues to inspire

As I understand it, the Ravenglass-to-Eskdale light railway isn't just a tourist attraction, it also serves as a commuter service between the two towns and takes in a few more stops along the track as well.
