The Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway's diesel loco Lady Wakefield stands at Dalegarth station on 26 May 2018, prior to working the 15:50 service to Ravenglass. The original terminus of the line when the railway was a 3ft gauge line was at Boot, but when it was converted to 15 inch gauge in the 1920s, this station was constructed next to the valley road, on the course of the old Gill Force haematite drift mine branch.
