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.
