Drawing, Cowrin Hill Cut, Looking West, Newcastle and
Carlisle Railway, Cowran Cutting, Hayton, Cumberland, by
John Wilson Carmichael, 1835.
View of the railway cutting, foreshortened. Groups of
figures, some leading horses, are at work at various points
along the tracks. To either side of the cutting lie woodland
and fields with hills beyond. A distant view of wooded
countryside is visible through the far end of the cutting.
Carmichael executed 22 pencil drawings of the construction
of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at the suggestion of
the Rail Company.
