Often referred to as the disused Farndale Railway, this section was once part of the Rosedale Railway, 19.5-mile goods-only railway line running from Battersby Junction via Ingleby Incline, across the heights of the North York Moors to reach the iron ore deposits in the remote hills of the Rosedale valley. It opened to traffic as a narrow gauge railway to Ingleby Incline top in 1858, converted to standard gauge and opened to Rosedale West in 1861, and closed completely in 1929.
