The Cumbrian Railways Association was formed in 1976 in order to foster a widening interest in the fascinating history of the railways of Cumbria. Cumbria has enjoyed a remarkable diverse railway history. Starting with locally promoted lines such as those from Carlisle to Newcastle and Maryport in the 1830s and 40s, these were soon linked into the first of the great trunk lines through the area, the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway and its northern partner, the Caledonian Railway. Membership of the Association is open to all who are interested in the railways of Cumbria both past and present. Whether you are an active researcher or modeller or just enjoy reading about the past glories of the Cumbrian railway scene, please join us.
