The Middleton Junction and Oldham Branch Railway (MJOBR) was opened on 31 March 1842 by the Manchester and Leeds Railway, whose chief engineer was George Stephenson. The MJOBR left the Manchester to Littleborough railway line (opened on 4 July 1839), at Middleton Junction (then Oldham Junction) went through the expanding town of Chadderton to a station in the lower part of Oldham named Werneth. It was part of the original route to Oldham. The - 1 mile 1,383 yards (2.874 km) long - was the steepest passenger worked railway line in Britain, with a gradient of 1:27 for about one mile (1.6 km). The earliest trains to use this line required cable assistance to get to the top of the incline.
