SCRCA structure 277210: Appleby Station - Tank House

SCRCA Location Introduction

The original tank house on this site was demolished circa 1968. This replacement structure (which is slightly smaller than the original) and the adjacent water crane were provided  in 1991[*] to supply water to steam locomotives hauling occasional special passenger services. Unlike the original, this tank is only able to supply water to locomotives on the 'Down' side.

[*] The official opening ceremony was held on 24th August 1991.
