Wikipedia, viewed 6 October 2022 (Stockton and Darlington Railway; S&DR was a railway company that operated in north-east England from 1825 to 1863; construction of the railway received royal assent on 19 April 1821; its first line connected collieries near Shildon with Darlington and Stockton-on-Tees in County Durham, and was officially opened on 27 September 1825; the line was soon extended; the company was taken over by the North Eastern Railway in 1863 but continued to operate independently as the Darlington Section until 1876; much of the original route is now served by the Tees Valley Line, operated by Northern Trains)
