Freight Train At Dusk

“Freight train, freight train goin’ so fast
Please don’t tell what train I’m on
So they won’t know where I’ve gone”
– Peter, Paul, and Mary
Few things can conjure up romantic thoughts of wandering as a freight train passing by at dusk. This train of tank cars was out of Houston and heading southwest to parts unknown.

The Red Cliffe Mine

Red Cliffe Mines

This ruined building is all that is left of the Red Cliffe Lead Mines at Grimwith in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It was a small concern, with 6 or 7 miners working together for a few years on the remote moors. Records show that the mines closed in the 1870s and provided little yield. It was an incredibly hard life and for most the pickings were slim.
