Cullingworth railway station was a station on the Queensbury Lines which ran between Keighley, Bradford and Halifax. The station served the village of Cullingworth, West Yorkshire, England. It opened for passengers in 1884[1] and closed in May 1955.[2] Goods traffic continued until 1963, when the surviving line closed completely.[3]

The station was about 1.5miles from Wilsden railway station and was near to the 150yd long 9 arch Cullingworth Viaduct, which exists to this day.[4] [5]
