The railway was the former branch line from Melmerby (on the Leeds-Ripon-Northallerton line) to Masham. A narrow-gauge line ran from near Masham station for the building of Roundhill and Leighton reservoirs from around 1905-1930s. See http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/t/tanfield/index.shtml for information on the nearest station to this point and for general information on the branch.
