Causewayhead railway station

Causewayhead or, originally, Causey Head, was an early, short lived railway station near Causewayhead, Cumbria on the Carlisle & Silloth Bay Railway & Dock Company's branch from Carlisle to Silloth The station served the small hamlet of Causewayhead and its rural surrounds. Its timetable entries show trains calling on Saturdays Only. It only appeared in public timetables from November 1856 to April 1859. The 18 September 1856 entry in a contemporary journal states that "[locomotives]...generally call at Causeway Head to quench the thirst of the Steam Horse. They pump the water out of the beck." By 1866 no trace of a station could be seen on OS maps, though a building – almost certainly the crossing keeper's cottage - is clear. It is possible that this was a "use it or lose it" stopping place where no platforms were built. The level crossing required the services of a crossing keeper until the line closed in 1964.
