View southward from Harrington station, to Copperas Hill on the ex-Cleator & Workington Junction light railway branch from Harrington Junction to Lowca - as steep as 1-in-17, closed to passengers 1/2/29, to freight much later. Nothing whatever of this Lowca branch is in fact visible, but merely the ex-LNWR (Carlisle) - Maryport - Workington - Whitehaven (Coast) line going south from Harrington station, below the hills showing scars of the former industrial landscape.
