Goathland (Beck Hole) Incline on the original route of the WPR. 13 August 1968
The incline was opened with the WPR in 1836, and built with a 1 in 15 gradient to the design of the WPR's Engineer George Stephenson. It was self-acting, rope worked, with the descending traffic hauling up the ascending traffic. The descending coach or wagons were given additional weight by means of a wheeled water butt, which was filled before descending, then drained at the bottom and returned to the top with the next ascending load.Goathland (Beck Hole) Incline on the original route of the WPR. 13 August 1968
