Despite being one of the lesser railways in the Cumberland industrial network around Whitehaven and Workington, the Whitehaven, Cleator & Egremont Railway was well signalled in the 1870s.
The Whitehaven, Cleator & Egremont sold out to the London & North Western Railway in 1877, becoming a joint operation with the Furness Railway in 1878.
