Beighton Junction is a set of railway junctions near Beighton on the border between Derbyshire and South Yorkshire, England. ==Scope== The term Beighton Junction has been used in a narrow sense to encompass either one, two or three junctions, according to author's purposes, or even as a shorthand for Beighton Junction Signalbox. The narrowest possible scope concerns the original Beighton Junction, which, essentially, stands today, i.e.: * the single, core junction of a pair of lines east from Sheffield and a pair south from Rotherham. This has been constant from 1849, referred to hereafter as Beighton Junction 1849. On 1 December 1891 the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire railway (MS&LR) started running trains drawn by contractor's locomotives south from a new, additional, "Beighton Junction", approximately 500 yards north west of the first Beighton Junction on the MS&LR, labelled in later Midland system maps as: * "Beighton Junction G.C.", referred to hereafter as Beighton Junction 1891. In 1900 the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway (LD&ECR) made another, additional, junction yards south of the first. This pair of junctions were thereafter often referred to collectively as "Beighton Junction" as was the adjacent signal box. Their components were recorded as: * "GC Line Junction (Sheffield Section)" (the original and remaining junction Beighton Junction 1849) ''and,'' * "GC Line Junction (LD&EC Section)", referred to hereafter as Beighton Junction 1900. This complex evolution is addressed by the accompanying Route Diagram "Beighton Junction detail." This article treats these junctions as the lynch pin of a complex interweaving triangular network of lines, stretching over two miles from Killamarsh in the south to station in the north west and to in the north east. That triangle as a whole is addressed by the accompanying Route Diagram "Beighton Junction". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beighton Junction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
