Figure 73 shows the Baron Wood Sidings track layout, based upon a Midland Railway survey of 1913.
Plate 189 shows Baron Wood Sidings with a northbound express freight on 28 May 1960. A private siding was provided at Baron Wood for the use of the Ley family of Lazonby Hall, whose extensive forestry land is traversed between Lazonby and Armathwaite. Pit props were prepared at the local sawmill and transported from Baron Wood Sidings during World War 1, sufficient traffic to warrant the provision in 1914 of a covered lever frame of three levers (tumbler type). Perhaps because of handling difficulties, the sidings never reached their full potential. The sidings finally closed in 1951 and main line connections were subsequently removed.
Plate 190 is an image of a Carlisle to Skipton goods train passing the long headshunt of Baron Wood Sidings on 7 November 1967. The small lever stage was protected by fixed signals. The key to the stage was kept at Lazonby signal box, the guard returning it to the signalman at Armathwaite after use.
