An early plan went from Millom Station, across the 1 1/4 mile Duddon estuary by viaduct, to join the Furness railway south of Kirkby. New powers were acquired, 1865, for a line from Millom across the Duddon estuary to a junction with the Furness Railway at Askam, and then straight across to Lindal. This never hapenned; the FR took over in 1865. A contractor had started work on the new viaduct, materials onsite, etc by 1867. | |
