Brampton Railway
The Brampton railway was a ten-mile-long track branch railway line on the borders of Cumberland and Northumberland, England, that ran from to on the Alston Line via three intermediate stations, Brampton Junction, and . The line also connected via spurs to eight collieries.
==History==
The Brampton railway began in 1775 as a wooden wagonway from Tindale Fell Colliery to Brampton Coal Staithe constructed by the Earl of Carlisle. The wagonway was expanded in both 1798, and 1799, and the lines replaced with cast iron in 1808. A horse-drawn passenger service was introduced in 1836 linking to the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway line at Brampton Junction but ceased operations in 1881. Between 1836 and 1840 Stephenson's Rocket worked on the line. In 1852 the line was extended from Haltonleagate to join the Haltwhistle-Alston line at Lambley. The North Eastern Railway took the line over in 1913. Passenger services were withdrawn in stages between 1917 and 1920, and after consolidation the London and North Eastern Railway closed the line for freight in 1923. The line was leased to the owners of the collieries it served. In 1947 the mines and railway passed to the National Coal Board but 1953 the line closed for good.
The line has been known by a number of other names during its existence, including Lord Carlisle's Railway, the Tindale Fell Railway, the Midgeholme Railway, and the Hartleyburn and Brampton Railway.
