Loftus, previously Lofthouse, was a railway station on the Whitby Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway. It was opened on 1 April 1875, and served the town of Loftus. It closed to passenger traffic in April 1960 and goods traffic in 1963; the tracks through the station were lifted in 1964.
Though a single track was re-instated in the 1974 to allow freight trains to reach Boulby Mine, the station remains closed.
