Murthwaite Halt railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Murthwaite Halt railway station is a small intermediate railway station on the 15" gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in Cumbria. It is named after the (now ruined) farm that stood in the field opposite the railway and close by there was also a granite quarry and stone crushing plant of the same name. These were in operation from the 1920s until 1953, and between 1929 and 1953 there was a standard gauge branch from Ravenglass to the crushing plant, the rails beind either side of the 15" gauge ones.

The station is located 2¾ miles from Ravenglass and 4¼ miles from Dalegarth.
