Skarloey Railway Slate Quarry

The Skarloey Railway Slate Quarry is large quarry where all of the Skarloey Railway engines work. Peter Sam once had an accident with some slate trucks here. Later, some trucks broke free and crashed through some buffers causing an avalanche and trapping Skarloey inside.
After the copper mines had run dry at Ward Fell, it was found that good slate was available in the foothills. During World War II, the Ministry of Defence bought the mines and used it as an ammunition dump.
