The Hawes branch line opened in 1878, only three years after the Settle-Carlisle line, which it joins at Hawes Junction or Garsdale Head.The Hawes branch met the N.E.R branch from Northallerton at Hawes station. The single-track Hawes branch line closed in 1959. The quality of the engineering on this viaduct is impressive. There are plans to re-open this line and the line to Redmire where the line from Northallerton terminates at present.
