	a004a ribblehead station and ribblehead
		Ribblehead Station was opened for traffic on the 4th of December 1876.
		The viaduct is a quarter of a mile long and each sixth pier was designed with increased strength.
		The viaduct became the focus of a determined attempt by British Rail to abandon the line, using the excuse that due to its deteriorating condition and expenditure of several millions would be needed for refurbishment.

	webDotWiz Train Simulator - The Long Drag (Settle-Carlisle)
		At Ribblehead, where a viaduct 1,320 feet long was thrown across the valley, the westerly gales are sometimes so strong that they stop trains as they leave the little station which, by the way, is a valuable weather-recording point for the Air Ministry.
		Trains leaving the station for the crossing of the 1,320-foot long Ribblehead Viaduct are sometimes battered to a standstill by the gales, and wait helplessly for another train to push them across.
		The viaduct has 24 spans, and its legs were sunk 25 feet below the level of the surrounding moor to rest on solid rock.

		Ribblehead viaduct is actually the largest and most famous viaduct throughout the whole of the Settle to Carlisle railway line.
		The wind is very prevalent around the Station and viaduct and many signalmen, crossing the viaduct, going to Bleamoor signal box have been blown off the embankment.
		Construction of Ribblehead Viaduct took 5 years although it was not decided until December 1872 whether to have 24 or 18 arches.

		N, of course, is related to the length, L, of the viaduct, the arch radius and the pier width.

	Out of Oblivion: A landscape through time
		The 400 metre long Ribblehead viaduct was one of the most impressive feats of engineering on the Settle-Carlisle railway line.
		The foundations for this huge viaduct had to be dug deep (up to 7.5 metres) into the peat and clay down to solid rock.
		The track (public bridleway) to the viaduct is just beyond the Station Inn at Ribblehead.

		It is located at the foot of the mountain of Whernside.
		When British Rail attempted to close the Settle and Carlisle line in the 1980s, one of the cited reasons was that the structure was unsafe.

		It was a strange afternoon weatherwise - the hills within maybe a 2 mile circumference of the viaduct gradually became enveloped by very low cloud, but once you changed into the next valley either side there was no sign of low cloud.
		As I got into the car park at Hawes, I heard a plane flying low approaching, I thought nothing of it until it passed overhead and I'm pretty sure that it was either a spitfire or hurricane.
		On the way back, I called into the Ingleton Cave centre but as the guided tour takes 80 mins, I decided that this is a must visit in the near future when I've a bit more time to spare.

		At Ribblehead you are on the famous Settle to Carlisle Railway.
		This is a spectacular point at which to meet it, too, for here the line crosses the Ribblehead Viaduct.
		It took huge numbers of navvies, brought in from Ireland and the south-west as well as from the declining local lead mining industry, to build the railway, and over a thousand of them died from disease or were killed at work.

	FOLKLORE OF THE SETTLE - CARLISLE LINE, by Paul Screeton
		During the systematic rundown of the S&C, British Rail claimed the magnificent 24-arch Ribblehead viaduct was on the verge of collapse.
		Shortly after the viaduct is Blea Moor tunnel, length 2,629 yards, and "a 'presence' has been detected at the southern portal' claims W. Mitchell.
		As at Ribblehead, the immense piers were set on a bed of concrete and once poured in all trace of the victim was lost.

		The Ribblehead Viaduct is visible for miles around, and is located to the side of Whernside and is on the Settle-Carlisle track.
		In particular, building the Ribblehead (then Batty Moss) viaduct, with its 24 massive stone arches 104 feet above the moor, caused such loss of life that the railway paid for an expansion of the local graveyard.

		When we were oop north, we visited Ribblehead Viaduct, which is (I think) Britain’s longest viaduct (with 24 spans), part of the famous Settle-Carlisle railway.
		It’s situated slap-bang in the middle of a remote and bleak moor, where the navvies set up camp during the building of the railway.
		The best way to experience the structure is to go there, obviously (take a hat!) but a close second is to view the Ribblehead Viaduct group pool slideshow on Flickr.
