Train crossing the Cumbria Coastal Way
English, Welsh and Scottish Railway Class 66 locomotive number 66181 leaving Workington Docks hauling a freight train, crossing the Cumbria Coastal Way long distance path and National Cycle Route 71 at North Side shortly before reaching the main Cumbrian Coast railway line.
The Cumbria Coastal Way and the Cycle Route were diverted away from this path following the floods in November 2009 which destroyed the Workington Dock Bridge (photograph

The stop sign, equivalent to a red railway stop signal is mandatory. The sign underneath reads ‘Open crossing gates before proceeding’ although there is only one gate to be opened allowing the train to gain access to Network Rail property.
