Network Rail has used a special train to remove dangerous 5ft (1.5m) icicles dangling from the roof of a tunnel on the Settle to Carlisle line.
The operator said some icicles were also cleared by hand by staff during the freezing weather conditions.
The icicles can fall and cause delays to passing trains.
Infrastructure director Chris Pye said: Our extreme weather action teams prepare for when winter bites so we re ready to keep the railway running.

GAME of Thrones may have coined the phrase ‘winter is coming’, but winter is staying in Craven as railway workers battle to keep passengers and freight moving in the freezing weather. Several days of sub-zero temperatures have caused icicles up to 1.5m long to form in tunnels on the Settle to Carlisle line as well as across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria – after weather which wouldn’t be out of place north of ‘the wall’ in the hit HBO series. A special train entered Blea Moor tunnel on the Settle to Carlisle line to safely dislodge its dangling ice. Some of the massive icicles around the region – which Game of Thrones villain the Night King would be proud of – have also been removed by hand by Network Rail staff.
