History

The station was opened with a section of the Clarence Railway main line in January 1836.[1] Originally named Carlton, the station was situated between Norton-on-Tees and Stillington.[2] When completed, the main line ran between Haverton Hill and Simpasture, where it joined the Stockton and Darlington Railway.[3] After a series of leases and absorptions, the Clarence Railway eventually became part of the North Eastern Railway (NER) upon the formation of the latter in 1854.[4]

In 1915 the line between Shildon and Newport was electrified. On completion of the work, there were four tracks between Stillington Junction and Carlton West Junction; the southern pair carried the freight trains and were electrified, whilst the northern pair carried the passenger trains and remained steam-worked. At Carlton station, the platforms were only on the northern pair of tracks.[5]

On 1 January 1923 the NER amalgamated with other companies to form the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER).[6] On 1 July 1923 the LNER renamed the station Redmarshall.[7]

The station was closed by British Railways on 31 March 1952.[8]
