The Deerness Valley Railway was constructed by the North Eastern Railway primarily to serve collieries along the Deerness valley between Durham and Waterhouses. Beyond Waterhouses the line ran on to Crook as the Stockton & Darlington Railway's Deerness Branch. The line opened to goods in 1858 and passengers in 1877. The passenger service was withdrawn in 1951, with final closure in 1964. The trackbed is now a multi user trail.
