=== Huddersfield–Penistone === The first section of line between {{stnlnk|Huddersfield}} and {{stnlnk|Penistone}} was opened on 1 July 1850 by the [[Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway]] (L&YR). From the joint L&YR/[[London and North Western Railway]] Huddersfield station, trains ran south to Springwood Junction (south of Huddersfield) on the [[London and North Western Railway]] [[Leeds]]–[[Manchester]] main line, where the L&YR line began; from there the route was as follows: * ''Springwood Tunnel'' * '''{{stnlnk|Lockwood}}''' * ''Meltham Branch Junction'' was the junction for the now disused [[Meltham branch line]] * ''[[Lockwood Viaduct]]'' * '''{{stnlnk|Berry Brow}}''' * ''Robin Hood Tunnel'' * ''Honley Tunnel'' * '''{{stnlnk|Honley}}''' * '''{{stnlnk|Brockholes}}''' was the junction for the now closed [[Holmfirth Branch Line]]. * ''Thurstonland Tunnel'' * '''{{stnlnk|Stocksmoor}}''' * '''{{stnlnk|Shepley}}''' also serves [[Shelley, West Yorkshire|Shelley]] * ''Clayton West Junction'' for the now closed [[Clayton West branch line]] [http://www.signalbox.org/gallery/lm/claytonwestjcn.php Clayton West Junction signal box] * ''Cumberworth Tunnel'' * '''[[Denby Dale railway station|Denby Dale]]''' also serves [[Upper Cumberworth]] and Lower Cumberworth, and was originally ''Denby Dale & Cumberworth'' * ''[[Denby Dale Viaduct]]'' * ''Wellhouse Tunnel'' * ''[[Penistone Viaduct]]'' * '''{{stnlnk|Penistone}}''' The station was opened with the line; in 1874, a joint L&YR/[[Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway]] (GCR from 1899) station was built to replace the original M.S.& L.R. Penistone station which served only the line to Manchester. This line was closed to passenger traffic on 5 January 1970 and completely 11 years later. The southern part of that section follows the upper reaches of the [[River Don, South Yorkshire|River Don]].
