Eastwood (L&Y) railway station

The station opened with the line on New Years Day 1841 and was closed on 3 December 1951 by British Railways.Retaining walls in the cliff above the site, together with a substantial road access ramp, and the remains of adjacent coal drops can still be seen.The signal box here survived for around 20 more years until its abolition as part of the Preston area resignalling scheme in 1972.A derailment in the (now removed) goods loop next to the westbound line in October 1986 blocked the route for over a week — heavy lifting equipment had to be brought in to recover several overturned coal hopper wagons from the scene, whilst a replacement bus service ran between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge stations.This article on a railway station in Yorkshire and the Humber is a stub.
