Looking towards Caldon Lowe. On one weekend each month, trains still go as far as Ipstones Loop. Originally the line was built to transport stone of the quarries at Caldon Lowe. The preserved Churnet Valley Railway operates steam and diesel (sometimes both!) locomotives to haul trains between Kingsley and Froghall Station to Cheddleton, and sometimes beyond to Ipstones. https://www.churnet-valley-railway.co.uk/
