156483 leaves Ravenglass station working the 15.12 Carlisle to Preston service. It is about to pass under an attractive footbridge that visitors to the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway use. The footbridge is one of the reasons that the 1874 Furness signal box was built so tall in order to offer better sighting for the signalmen. The box was closed by BR in 1965 and is now occasionally open to visitors to the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway.
