Cockermouth and Workington Railway
The Cockermouth & Workington Railway was a railway between the towns of Workington and Cockermouth established by Act of Parliament in 1845. A single-tracked line of eight and a half miles length, it was built primarily to carry coals from the pits of West Cumberland to the port at Workington for shipment by sea. It opened for service in 1847, its western terminus being the Whitehaven Junction Railway station in Workington, while the eastern terminus lay at Cockermouth (C&W) railway station. Approximately three fifths of the former line now forms part of the A66 Road. This is approximately the two and a half miles from the start of a straight section of road near to Broughton Cross and the next roundabout.
