==The route==
The route began just south of [[Lockwood railway station|Lockwood station]] near [[Lockwood Viaduct]] at a junction with the [[Penistone Line]] and continued as follows:
* '''[[Woodfield railway station (Yorkshire)|Woodfield]]''' (Opened and closed June 1874 due to being on an unsafe gradient)<ref>[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C1030799 National Archives] - "Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway: Woodfield Station. Top File No: R. 4200". In summary, the Board of Trade gave initial permission to open the station prior to inspection, however Colonel Hutchinson's subsequent report was highly critical of the dangerous gradient and the risk of runaway rolling stock running through to Huddersfield. For reasons not recorded in the available documents, L&YR chose not to carry out the necessary and costly levelling of the line and Woodfield Station was never reopened.</ref>
