Hawes Junction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hawes Junction was the name of the station between Dent and Kirkby Stephen on Midland Railway's Settle to Carlisle mainline at the junction with the Wensleydale Railway at the north-west corner of the old West Riding of Yorkshire, (now Cumbria). Since the branch line to Hawes was closed in 1964, the station has been re-named Garsdale, but, along with the hamlet of Garsdale Head, it is still often known as Hawes Junction. The station still has a fully working signal box, and once boasted the highest water troughs in the world at "Ling Gill" where the steam express trains to Scotland filled their water tanks without stopping.
