Catterick Bridge railway station
Catterick Bridge railway station was in North Yorkshire, England. It served the villages of Brompton-on-Swale and Catterick and stood near the junction where the main line to Richmond met the Catterick Camp Military Railway to Catterick Garrison. The station was on the Eryholme–Richmond branch line, built in 1846 by the York and Newcastle Railway, and it was designed in Tudor style.
The station had two platforms. It opened in 1846 and later became part of the North Eastern Railway, then the London and North Eastern Railway.
On 4 February 1944, an ammunition train exploded at the station while it was being loaded. Twelve people were killed and 102 were injured.
Passenger services on the Richmond branch ended in 1969, and freight services continued until 1970. The station was demolished soon after the line closed. Today, a caravan and motorhome dealer occupies the site, and only a few traces of the station remain.
