Cleator And Workington Junction Railway
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![Looking north at the embankment running through Seaton. This line survived until relatively recently to serve the Government sidings at Great Broughton.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford 27/09/2006]](/images/11000/11573.jpg "Seaton")

![Landscaping and alterations at Great Broughton make the line difficult to trace east of the old Government Depot. But could that be the station on the right? View looks east.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford 27/09/2006]](/images/11000/11578.jpg "Great Broughton")
![High Harrington station on the Cleator & Workington Junction Railway, seen in March 2018. This view looks towards Distington along the established trackbed cycle path. The remains of the Workington platform, which last saw passengers in 1931, can be seen on the right. Goods trains continued to pass through until 1964. The central bridge pier is a later addition supporting the heavy road traffic that passes over today.

![Church Road Halt in Harrington was only open from 1914 to 1926, served by trains from Workington to Lowca. Freight continued after closure until as late as 1973 and part of the line is now accessible as a trackbed footpath. This view looks northwards and the halt itself was on the far side of the road, originally crossed by a steel bridge, but nothing remains. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 09/03/2018]](/images/63000/63531.jpg "Harrington Church Road Halt")
![Just south of Harrington Church Road the old Lowca track bed runs through open countryside with sea views. A little further south was another small halt, known as Archer Street, following which trains were faced with a 1:17 gradient for 285 yards, reportedly the steepest passenger line in the UK to be worked by adhesion. Passenger services ceased in 1926 and freight in 1973. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 09/03/2018]](/images/63000/63538.jpg "Harrington Church Road Halt")
