Baggrow railway station was a railway station in the English county of Cumberland, later Cumbria. It was a stop on the Bolton Loop of the Maryport and Carlisle Railway.
The station served the pit at Brayton Knowle Colliery.[1]
History
Opened by the Maryport and Carlisle Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station was then closed by that company some seven years later, although freight continued to pass through the disused station until 1952.
The site today
Although the station itself has since been demolished the Station Master's house is still in use.
