Canada Dock Branch
The Canada Dock Branch is a 4-mile 59 chain (7.62 kilometre) long railway line in Liverpool, England. The line runs from the large Edge Hill rail junction in the east of Liverpool to Seaforth Dock to the north. The line was originally built by the London and North Western Railway terminating at Canada Dock, with a latter extension added to Alexandra Dock and the MDHC railway lines. The line is not electrified.
==History==
The line opened in 1866 between Edge Hill and Canada Dock. On 5 September 1881 a line to Alexandra Dock was opened branch from the mainline at Atlantic Junction in a cutting below Kirkdale Station. On 1 May 1886 a junction with the Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway was opened from the Alexandra Branch.
By 31 May 1948 all the passenger stations on the line had closed. The line continued to be used by regular Liverpool Lime Street to Southport services, which operated primarily to provide a convenient Southport connection to London trains. The service was withdrawn when the Merseyrail commuter network was created in 1977. A new Merseyrail underground station below the mainline Lime Street station gave access from Southport via the Merseyrail Northern Line and Wirral Line.
