Smallbrook Junction railway station is a railway station on the Isle of Wight, England. It is unusual because it has no public access but exists purely to provide a connection between two rail systems. Another similar station is Manulla Junction in County Mayo, Republic of Ireland. However, that station allows interchange between two national network rail routes, rather than between a network route and a heritage route. HistoryThe station was opened in 1991 by British Rail when the Isle of Wight Steam Railway was extended to reach the Island Line, in order to provide a passenger interchange between the two. It is only served on days that both the Island Line and the Steam Railway are open, as there is no access either by path or by road. Prior to 1991 there was no station on this site, but it was still an important railway junction. "Smallbrook Junction" is the historic name, long predating the station. Between 1875 and 1926 there were two separate lines here, independently run by the Isle of Wight Central Railway and the Isle of Wight Railway. In 1926, following the island's rail network passing to the Southern Railway, a signal box and turnouts were installed at Smallbrook. From then until 1966, the line was the Junction between the Ryde Pier Head to Ventnor and Ryde Pier Head to Cowes Lines, and was notable for only being operated as such during the summer months when traffic increased.[1] The junction has been featured in many photographs from the time. If the Isle of Wight Steam Railway achieves its long term aim of extending to Ryde St. Johns Road, it is likely that Smallbrook Junction station would close.[2][3] FloodingIn October 2000, flooding near the station washed away much of the track ballast on the Island Line. Due to the dangerous state of the line, and the damage caused to trains by related flooding at Ryde depot, Island Line Trains had to suspend their services for several days.[4] Similar events occurred in December 2013, closing the line for many weeks. {{rail start}}{{rail line|previous=Brading|next=Ryde St John's Road|route=Island LineRyde-Shanklin |col={{ILT colour}} }}{{Heritage rail insert}}{{rail line|previous=Ashey |route=Isle of Wight Steam Railway |col={{heritage rail colour|000000}} }}{{s-end}} GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite book | first = Brian | last = Hardy | authorlink = Brian Hardy | title = Tube Trains on the Isle of Wight | publisher = Capital Transport | year = 2003 | location = Harrow Weald, Middlesex | page = 9 | isbn = 1-85414-276-3 |ref=Hardy, Tube Trains}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.islandecho.co.uk/news/is-the-future-trams-and-steam-trains-into-ryde|title=Is the future trams and steam trains into Ryde?|work=Island Echo|date=5 February 2016|access-date=26 June 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.rail.co.uk/rail-news/2015/steaming-to-ryde/|title=Steaming back to Ryde after 50 years?
