Bromfield was a railway station which served Bromfield, a small settlement in Cumbria on the English side of the Solway Firth. The station opened on 8 August 1870 by the Caledonian Railway on a line constructed from the Caledonian Railway Main Line at Kirtlebridge across the Glasgow South Western Line, then forming the Solway Junction Railway over the Solway Viaduct to Brayton. The line opened in 1869 and freight had run from since 13 September 1869. == History == Bromfield station was opened by the Solway Junction Railway, then part of the Caledonian Railway. At first the station was a request stop, however on 1 January 1873 a crossing keeper was appointed and the level crossing signalled. At the south end of the station was a siding leading to the goods yard, worked by a frame which was controlled by the train tablet for the section Abbey Junction and Brayton.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Solway Junction Railway - Caledonian Railway Appendix 1915 )〕 The station siding was provided for Fielding & Company and was 1¾ from Brayton Junction. The station today is a private house.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Solway Junction Railway - Bromfield Station )〕 The passenger service was never well patronised. In 1910 only three trains in each direction served the station, with an Brayton to Abbey Junction working once a week. It was further reduced to being just one carriage at the front of an occasional goods train and in September 1917 this was suspended, but was reinstated in 1920.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Solway Viaduct - Southern End )〕 Passenger services were finally withdrawn in 1921 and the line south of Annan over the Solway Viaduct was closed completely. The station had one platform with two simple station buildings, one stone and the other constructed of wood. The closure of the station was directly linked to the closure of the Solway viaduct. The line remained open to through traffic until 14 February 1933; the track was lifted in 1937. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bromfield (Cumbria) railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
