Swinden Quarry
Swinden Quarry is a quarry located on the Skipton to Grassington Line near the village of Cracoe in North Yorkshire. It is owned by Tarmac. The railway line still serves this mine.
Swinden Quarry railway station is a railway yard for use at Swinden Quarry near the village of Cracoe. The yard is at the northern end of the old Skipton to Grassington Line built by the Yorkshire Dales Railway. It is now the terminus of the line as the portion north of here to the former terminus at Threshfield was closed in 1969 and subsequently lifted (the B6265 road now passes across the old formation just beyond the buffer stops). Several trainloads of limestone are dispatched from here each weekday to terminals in West Yorkshire & Humberside.
