The Calder Valley line (also previously known as the Caldervale line) is a railway route in Northern England between the cities of Leeds and Manchester as well as the seaside resort of Blackpool. It is the slower of the two main rail routes between Leeds and Manchester (the other being the Huddersfield line), and the northernmost of the three main trans-Pennine routes.
Passenger train services are operated by Northern and run on the following pattern:
Selby– Leeds–Bradford Interchange–Halifax–Huddersfield (Class 150/155 trains and occasionally Class 158 or Class 144)
Leeds–Bradford Interchange/Brighouse–Hebden Bridge–Rochdale–Manchester Victoria (Class 155/Class 158 trains and occasionally Class 142 or Class 150)
York–Leeds–Bradford Interchange–Halifax–Hebden Bridge–Burnley–Blackpool North (Class 158 trains)
Blackburn–Burnley–Todmorden–Manchester Victoria (Class 142 or Class 150)
This line, along with the Huddersfield line and York and Selby lines, is normally merged in national timetables to show a coast-to-coast service. Services within West Yorkshire are sponsored by West Yorkshire Metro, whose tickets (including Metrocards) can be used up to Hebden Bridge between Leeds and Blackpool, and Walsden between Leeds and Manchester."

The bridge is between Sowerby Bridge railway station, and Mytholmroyd railway station.
The bridge has been widened at some point. There is a junction in the middle between a stone and brick arch, and there is also a girder extension next to the arch.
