I was inspired to visit this location by the front

cover of Rail Magazine Edition 856. It showed a WCR class 57 leading one of the replacement trains that the TOC operated along the line in lieu of Northern being able to do so. Until I saw this front cover, I was totally unaware that there were semaphores on this short branch line, but, there behind the 57 at Burneside was a home signal, the same one that can be seen in the background of this image to the left. Also shown, is one of the manually operated level crossing gates and the crossing keeper's rather unattractive hut looking more akin to a container box!
