History

The original standard gauge line was opened by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway as part of their 3.5 miles (5.6 km) branch line from Clayton West Junction on the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway (between Shepley and Denby Dale) to Clayton West. The trackbed was later used by the Kirklees Light Railway for a minimum gauge railway.

gollark: Does anyone know where the code of ForumUpdaterBot is? I want to bidirectionally bridge certain nimforum threads (on a selfhosted instance) to IRC and thought its code might be a good base.
gollark: Ah, that seems to work, it was being weird since the message didn't contain anything but the image I think.
gollark: I'm running an instance of nimforum for reasons, is there a way to embed external images?
