The Harborne Railway was a short railway branch line that connected the city centre of Birmingham, England with the outlying suburb of Harborne.
==Origin==
The line was first authorised in 1866, and was a proposed single line to connect Soho on the Great Western Railway Birmingham to Wolverhampton route with Lapal, on a proposed line from Halesowen to Bromsgrove, with a connection to the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) near . However, objections from landowners prevented most of the line from being built, and in the end only built, from Monument Lane to Harborne. It took five years to build, but finally opened to passengers on the 10 August 1874 and goods on the first of October.
There were three intermediate stations, at Icknield Port Road, Rotton Park Road and Hagley Road. The section immediately after the main line crossed the Birmingham Main Line canal, which ran in a deep cutting. Today, only the bridge pillars remain of the steel girder bridge. The line climbed at 1 in 66 to Hagley Rd, with a break of 1 in 224 through Rotton Park Rd station, and then descended to Harborne at 1 in 66, crossing the Chad Valley on a high bank.〔Railway Magazine October 1950 p. 652〕
