Castleford (Cutsyke)

Disused Rail Overbridge on Aketon Road, Castleford a short distance west from Cutsyke Level crossing and the former junction with existing line from Pontefract to Castleford. The bridge is on the former Castleford by-pass line between Cutsyke and Methley, and avoided reversal at Castleford to reach Leeds. Replacement route is via Calder Bridge Junction and Turners Lane Junction near Wakefield Kirkgate Station.
