Bedale

Probably the last wagons to use the goods yard and coal drops at Bedale, as this picture was taken four days before official closure here and at the similar one at Leyburn. Limestone and military traffic continued to Redmire of course, long enough for the line to pass into preservation as the Wensleydale railway. The then closed passenger station can be seen to the right with level crossing and signal box just out of sight around the curve.
