Skarloey Slate Quarry , sometimes known as the Incline Railway, is a quarry on the Skarloey Railway.
History[]
When Peter Sam once visited the quarry while doing Sir Handel's work due to the latter pretending to be sick, some trucks broke the winch cable - mistaking Peter Sam for Sir Handel and wanting a chance for revenge. The resulting crash left Peter Sam's funnel wobbly for some time afterwards.
On a later date, during the winter, some slate trucks broke the winch again, which caused then to crash through some buffers, causing an avalanche and trapping Skarloey under it. Duncan was once being very impatient to finish his work at the quarry, which caused him to be dragged up the incline with his slate trucks. The winch's chain then broke and he, with his slate trucks, fell into a muddy pond.
Since the introduction of the Blue Mountain Quarry, the slate quarry seems to have been eclipsed by the former.
