Exton/Eston Branch Railway

On the source from which I got that the line/railway was there ([1]), it is listed on that map as the "Exton Branch Raily". Whether this was meant to be Eston, it wasn't quite where Eston is ([2]) given the branch (which isn't on the second one any more) is near Redcar and not at Eston. As there is just the one source of the Exton branch, and it is listed as being spelt Exton, I think that's the only possible way of which we can spell it on the diagram, unless someone can come up with some further evidence. --Simmo676 00:58, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable map?

That first map [3] is much older than it's 1885 publication date suggests, since it doesn't show the extension to Saltburn completed in 1862. The first edition OS Map [ISBN 0 7153 5083 8] first published in the late 1850s shows an unnamed mineral branch that splits from the main line at Ryehills Farm between Redcar and Marske and ends roughly where the "Exton Branch" does - more or less what is now New Marske.

The 1861 OS map [4] clearly shows an "Eston Branch Railway" that leaves the main line west of Redcar (roughly what is now Grangetown) and runs down towards Eston and Normanby. This is still visible on the 1955 map as lifted track. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dogbyte (talkcontribs) 18:53, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
