Dissused Railway Bridge - Linton - a photo on Flickriver

            Wednesday walk.

Part of the line to Grassington & Threshfield originally built by the Yorkshire Dales Railway and services run by the Midland Railway.
It diverged at Embsay Junction, and ran through the Dales, with a station at Rylstone, past the then 'Swinden Lime Works' (today known as Swinden Quarry), and a further 3 miles (5 km) to Threshfield. Despite being the line's terminus, Grassington & Threshfield was built as a through station, because there were proposals to continue the line further north up the Dales to Kettlewell, and thence to Leyburn, to join the line to Hawes on the Wensleydale Railway. That was never done. 
Regular passenger services ceased on 22 September 1930, but freight and occasional excursion trains continued until 11 August 1969. 
The line was the last steam-worked branch line on the British Railways system, with steam finally giving way in the summer of 1968. After August 1969, the line was cut back to Swinden Quarry (9 miles 13 chains (14.7 km) and it focused strictly on sending out limestone.
The "Yorkshire Dales Railway" name survives as that of the trust that operates the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway.
