Little Eaton railway station

It was the first station on leaving the main line at Little Eaton Junction and approximately a quarter of a mile away.

Immediately before the Duffield Road level crossing was the Derby Canal Wharf where the Little Eaton Gangway also terminated and at that point a goods yard was provided.

The station had a single platform on the down side and there was a short spur serving Dowdings paper mill.

[2] There was a second level crossing immediately after the station, and longer trains could easily span both of them.

In the Grouping of all lines (into four main companies) in 1923 the station became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway .
