Barras

View west over the remains of Barras station towards the Lake District on 10 October, just as the rain started to fall. Opened by the South Durham & Lancashire Union Railway in 1861, this exposed part of the line, descending west from Stainmore Summit, became infamous due to the number of blockages in winter caused by major snowdrifts.
