Z50_9729 - Cleveland Way - a photo on Flickriver

            The Cleveland Way between Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Skinningrove.  The photo shows the closeness of the railway line to the cliff edge. 
"This railway, clinging precariously to the clifftop, started its life in 1872 as part of the short lived ‘Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway’. Dwindling passenger numbers and expensive repairs meant that by the late 1950s the line was no longer viable and work began dismantling it. Some of the concrete was recycled and used to build sea defences.
The line was revived twenty years later when a potash mine was sunk at nearby Boulby. Today freight trains still carry heavy supplies of potash and steel along the track. The mined potash is a mixture of salt and potassium chloride which is sometimes used in food as a healthier alternative to salt. Boulby is the UK's only commercial potash mine. After coal, oil and gas, potash ranks as Britain’s most important mining operation. (discoveringbritain.org)
