Ruswarp was also the name of a border collie featured in the campaign against the closure of the Settle & Carlisle line whose statue can be found at Garsdale.

Gretna Green is also located near the site of an accident with some striking similarities

(Hawes Junction 1910 for Garsdale, Quintinshill 1915 for Gretna Green. Both involved signalmen forgetting about trains in section, and both saw Pintsch Gas fuelled fires consuming the coaches)

Although signalling at Annan is controlled locally the lines either side are controlled by Dumfries signal box.
