Earby railway station was a railway interchange station serving the small town of Earby, which was in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, at the time but is now in Lancashire. It was built by the Midland Railway.
The main line continued towards Skipton to the north. South of Earby, in the direction of Colne, there was a junction with a short branch towards Barnoldswick.[1] The station closed to passengers on 2 February 1970, when passenger trains between Colne & Skipton were withdrawn [2] and was demolished in 1975.
