Elslack railway station once served the small village of Elslack in North Yorkshire, England. The station was built by the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway in 1848, between Colne and Skipton. It merged into the Midland Railway in 1851, though some services were operated by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. The station was closed on 3 March 1952, followed by the rest of the line on 2 February 1970.[1][2]
