Loftus, previously Lofthouse,Template:Sfn was a railway station on the Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway (WR&MU). It was opened on 1 April 1875 as the terminus of a line from Saltburn, and served the town of Loftus.[1] When the line to Whitby was opened on 3 December 1883, it became a through station with two platforms and a goods yard consisting of three sidings, and a water tank capable of holding Script error: No such module "convert"..[2] The cost of converting the terminal station into a through station was £950 (Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".).[3] The station was poorly sited as it was not near the town centre, and the road through Loftus town passed through an adjacent valley away from the station.Template:Sfn
Though the WR&MU line closed in 1958, Loftus returned to being a terminus, with a diesel service to Guisborough and Middlesbrough for two years until it closed to passenger traffic on 2 May 1960 and goods traffic on 12 August 1963.[4][5] The tracks through the station were lifted in 1964.[6]
Though a single track was relaid from Skinningrove by 1 April 1974 to allow freight trains to reach Boulby Mine, the station remains closed, and most buildings have been demolished. The stationmaster's house is now a private residence, the large brick-build goods shed also remains standing.[5]
