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 29th October 1863, but the station closed as early as 1st July 1864. After closure, the up platform was retained for use by those northbound crews requiring change and also for passing messages on to crews.
