Dist:0.2km<br/>The extent to which the former Denby branch line has become overgrown can be seen in this picture; the sleepers can still be seen but the rails have disappeared into the undergrowth.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This cat can rest easy as no trains run on this branch on a Sunday. The view was taken at Little Eaton Village Crossing.

Dist:0.2km<br/>It is many years since any trains used this crossing and the gate on the south side has been replaced by a fence; nevertheless, the track is still in situ. The branch line originally went to Ripley, but was latterly used only for freight trains to Denby.

Dist:0.2km<br/>There is no risk of road traffic being held up, as the overgrown track shows it is many years since any trains passed here. This is one of several level crossings on this branch line that originally went through to Ripley but was cut back to Denby in 1968. In any case this was for freight only, the LMS withdrew the passenger service as long ago as 1930.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This branch line originally went from Derby to Ripley. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1930 but the line remained open, principally for coal traffic, until its closure in the late 20th century. It was still operating in 1982 [[1801569]]
