STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON RAILWAY, a railway system in Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Westmoreland. It was originally a tram-road from Stockton-tees-Tees to Witton-Park colliery, with several branches, opened for coal traffic in 1825; but it now includes, by amalgamation or otherwise, the Middlesborough and Redcar, the Wear Valley, the Middlesborough and Guisbrough, the Darlington and Barnard Castle, the Eden Valley, the South Durham and Lancashire Union, and the Frosterlet and Stanhope; and it had, at the beginning of 1868, a productive aggregate of 201¼ miles.
