Camerton station (remains), 1986 View eastward, towards Cockermouth and Penrith: ex-LNW Workington - Cockermouth - Penrith line. The line was closed - quite wrongly it is now believed - from 18/4/66, but the station had gone from 3/3/52 so all that can be seen here is some platform. The house on the right with the Ford Cortina might have been the station house, but if so it has been altered.
