Looking down to Trubshaw's Caldon Tramway Taken from just below the A52, this shows the 1847 Caldon Tramway crossing an embankment adjacent to the white building. An overbridge can be seen at the right hand end of the bank, where the farm road wriggles to cross it. Part of the tramway formation has been used by water services.

Embankment on the 1785 Caldon Low Railway There were four phases of tramroad building between Caldon Low Quarry and the Caldon Canal at Froghall. The second of these was a single-track wooden waggon-way, topped with iron, which ran along this low embankment. The waggons were horse-drawn singly, with no signalling or other controls. Traffic travelling in opposite directions was handled by providing passing loops at intervals along the line.
