Page "Axholme Joint Railway" Paragraph 27

Returning to Reedness Junction, the line started as the Axholme Light Railway ran from there to Haxey.

After Moor's Farm siding, Peat Moss Works siding, which serviced Swinefleet Peat Works, and Spilman's siding, the line reach Crowle.

Here there was a passing loop and three sidings to the west.

To the south of the station was Ealand Depot, with two sidings, which were added after representations were made by farmers.

Beyond, the line rose on an embankment to Crowle swing bridge, crossing three brick arches over a road and a drain, a girder bridge over the Scunthorpe to Doncaster main line, and another brick arch as it approached.

The main girders were long, and the bridge was built by the Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Company of Darlington.

To the south of it was a twelve-arched viaduct known as Crowle Arches, which crossed the Hatfield Waste Drain, the North Engine Drain, the River Torne and the A18 road, and beyond that, another nine-arched viaduct spanning the South Engine Drain and the Folly Drain, beyond which the railway started to descend to return to ground level.
