Barnoldswick Railway

The Barnoldswick Railway was an English railway company, that constructed a short branch line to Barnoldswick[note 1] from a junction on the Midland Railway line from Skipton to Colne. It was opened in 1871, and was worked from the outset by the Midland Railway. It was moderately successful in financial terms, and the company was acquired by the Midland Railway in 1899.

Declining usage led to the line being closed to passengers in 1965 and to goods in 1966.
