1,200 m) in railway terms, or 0.75 miles (1.21 km). The first section of gradient was rated at 1-in-7.8, then stepping to 1-in-5.6 around the 0.25 miles (0.40 km) point, finally ascending to the incline top at a gradient of 1-in-5. A single line extended up the incline to the roughly half-way point where the track split into two to allow wagons to pass each other. The track then continued for the rest of the incline laid with three rails, the middle rail being common to both wagons ascending and descending the incline. A pointsman's cabin was located at the double track section, which would control which side that the trucks went up and down, it being varied for each iteration so that the ropes did not get crossed over. Treadles set into the line, ran bells in the brakesman's cabin by the drum house to warn of ascending wagons. This was particularly useful during night operations or in bad weather (fog).

needed replacing every five weeks due to wear, costing ÂŁ20.00 each time for a new set. A fire in June 1869 destroyed the drum house, and a new building was built with the drums behind each other (the previous ones being located side by side). The newer drums were 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter and were made of cast iron. The operation of the incline required six men; two each at the top, middle (double track section) and at the bottom. The normal mode of operation was that one loaded train would descend the incline at the same time that empty wagons were sent up. Descending trains were not usually let down without the counterbalance working; however, in 1871 it was reported that an ascending train broke free from the rope/cable hauling it up and the wagons ran backwards for 500-foot (150 m). The descending train was sent safely down the incline with braking applied to the drums.

Hoole and Huby (see Sources, below) reported that there was no signalling on the line but documentary evidence and the Ordnance Survey maps indicate that this was not the case. The line was divided into three single-line "Staff and Ticket" sections; Incline top to Blakey Junction, Blakey Junction to Rosedale West and Blakey Junction to Rosedale East. Each section had a metal token (the "staff" - actually metal rings with one, two or three links) that needed to be in the possession of the engine driver to allow them to work the line. 31: 638: 1639: 594:
and opened to traffic in August 1865. The branch to the east mines ran northwards from Blakey Junction for 1.2 miles (2 km) before curving eastwards and southwards, following the contours of the hillside. It dropped with a consistent gradient of 1-in-50 all the way from Blakey to Rosedale East. The mines at Rosedale East, Rosedale West and Blakey, were connected to the standard gauge line by tramways or narrow gauge railways. Only Sheriff Pit, which had a downshaft (the others being drift mines), had sidings directly onto the main running line.

apart from come coal traded from that goods depot with the village of Rosedale Abbey, the branch was focussed on the iron ore trade. Passenger carrying was strictly limited to the families of the railwaymen and miners who worked in Rosedale. Trains would convey them to either Middlesbrough or Stockton and on the return, they would be carried up Ingleby Incline on the buffer beams of wagons, so that they need not walk up with their shopping.

still extant on the moor tops. During a severe winter of 1916–17 the line was blocked for five weeks, when drifting snow developed into depths of 30 feet (9.1 m). An engine was buried in a drift, with the staff having to tunnel their way out of the snow. The engines on the upper line were fitted with a half-cab on the tender as a means of protection from the elements when the locomotives was required to run tender first.

The route across the moors was very inhospitable during winter months. Snowstorms were commonplace in winter; during 1874/5, 1882/3 and 1884/5 the snow did not thaw for at least three months. In 1895, the thaw started in March allowing the line to re-open by April, but by June, large snowdrifts were

The first drum house at the top of the incline was made of stone and contained two drums, both 14 feet (4.3 m) in diameter. The descending wagons (loaded with ore) would pull the cable around the drum and haul up the empty wagons. The wooden inserts on the drums which connected with the cables,

The workings reached a peak production of over 560,000 long tons (569,000 tonnes) in 1873. Wagons containing ore were weighed at the weigh bridge located at Ingleby Incline foot, with all associated paperwork being dealt with at Battersby. Whilst there was a small goods station at Rosedale East,

The railway had two engine sheds; one was at the Rosedale West end of the line and consisted of two roads. A second shed was provided at Battersby Junction and had three roads in the shed, with two on the outside, one with a water tank and the other with a turntable. Engines working the line

at Battersby (then known as Ingleby Junction). An Act of Parliament in 1859 (that covered the amalgamation into the NER of the line to Kildale and the Rosedale Railway), meant that the NER became responsible for the lines in the area in August 1859, when the branch was still 18 months from
589:, the NER decided to convert the line to standard gauge operations and extend the track 10 miles (16 km) from the top of the incline to mine workings at Rosedale run by the Rosedale Ironstone Mining Company, whom the NER had interests in. This line opened to the west side of 582:, where trucks would be hauled up the slope to a height of 1,200 feet (370 m) above sea level using the weight of descending full wagons. The wagons descended at an average speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) which resulted in a journey time of 3 minutes from top to bottom. 1476:
