Incorporated under Act of 30 June 1864.
The undertaking was transferred to and vested in the Caledonian Railway as from 1 July 1895 under the Solway Junction Railway (Transfer) Act of 6 July 1895 and such transfer and vesting was, under clause 5, deemed to be an amalgamation of the two companies within the meaning of Part 5 (relating to amalgamation) of the Railways Clauses Act 1863.
The Solway Junction Railway, however, remained in existence for certain purposes set forth in the Act, and distributed the dividends on the Annuity Stock created under the Act, until it was absorbed into the London Midland and Scottish Railway as from 1 January 1923 under the London Midland and Scottish Railway Preliminary Absorption Scheme 1923 dated 3 April 1923. |
