Private company
Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midland Junction Railway
Railway in England
The Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway ran from a junction with the Midland Railway at Ambergate to Rowsley north of Matlock and thence to Buxton. In time it would become part of the Midland Railway's main line between London and Manchester, but it was initially planned as a route from Manchester to the East of England, via the proposed Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway which would meet it a little further north along the North Midland line at Ambergate.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
