HistoryThe line utilised part of the Cromford and High Peak Railway (which ran from Whaley Bridge to Cromford) joining it near Hindlow and proceeding to a branch to Ashbourne at Parsley Hay. After leaving Hindlow the line began to climb at 1 in 60 through Hindlow Tunnel to Brigg's Sidings and its summit at Dowlow Halt. {{convert|1260|ft|m}} at the summit, this was the highest main line in England at the time. From Dowlow Halt the line travelled downhill at a gradient of 1 in 60 to Hurdlow. Brigg's Sidings served Messrs. Briggs and the Dowlow Lime and Stone Company (later Steetley, then Redland Aggregates). The halt itself was unstaffed with two short stone platforms and without buildings, since it was initially used by workmen's trains for the nearby works. It was opened for public services in November 1929. Passenger services on the line finished in 1954. One section still exists, serving Buxton Lime Industries, and terminating a short distance further on at the Lafarge Dowlow sidings.[2] Route{{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line two routes|previous={{stnlnk|Hindlow}}|next={{stnlnk|Hurdlow}}|route1=Cromford and High Peak Railway|route2=Ashbourne LineLNWR |col={{LNWR colour}} }}{{rail end}} See also
