The Maryport & Carlisle Railway (M&CR) was a small but highly profitable railway formed in 1836[1] to connect the town of Maryport to the county town (strictly speaking, city) of Carlisle and to allow the output of collieries inland of Maryport to be more cheaply transported to Maryport for onward movement by sea. Its headquarters and locomotive works were at Maryport.[2] After overcoming early mismanagement,[3] its limited extent, the large volume of coal traffic, and the absence of competition made it one of the most profitable (and most consistently profitable) pre-grouping railway companies in Britain. At grouping in 1923 the M&C became a part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. The main Carlisle- Maryport line (completed in 1845) remains open and forms part of the Cumbrian Coast Line between Carlisle and Barrow in Furness.

Can remember going to the Station on Friday nights,(horse and cart)watching the men load the pigeons on the train,that would be the late 40's early 50's.
