Port Carlisle Junction


Port Carlisle Junction was a railway junction between the lines of the former Caledonian Railway and North [British Railway] companies lines to the north of Carlisle Citadel station in, what is now, Cumbria, England. It opened in July 1863.
Port Carlisle Junction railway station was a very short lived station that first came into use in July 1863 and there was some untimetabled use until 29 October 1863, but the station closed as early as 1 July 1864. After closure, the up platform was retained for use by those crews requiring change and also for passing messages on to crews.
