MARYPORT AND CARLISLE RAILWAY, a railway in Cumberland; from a junction with the line from Lancashire, Whitehaven, and Workington, at Maryport, 28 miles north-eastward, to the general railway station at Carlisle. It was authorized, as a single line, in 1837; and was made double, and otherwise improved, under an act of 1 855. The company obtained power in 1862, to construct branches, 7½ miles long, to Bolton and Wigton; and, in 1865, to construct a Derwent branch of 6 miles, and to enlarge the Bull Gill station.
