A BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 hauls a northbound empty anhydrite train across the 24 arch Ribblehead Viaduct on 14th October 1966. Until 1976. These trains. Diesel headed after 1967 we're a common sight on the Settle to Carlisle carrying anhydrite from a gypsum mine at Long Meg near Little Salkeld. Northwest of Appleby to a plant at Widnes in Cheshire.
