It lay on the branch from Awsworth Junction, to Pinxton, Codnor Park being important for an ironworks belonging to the Butterley Company.
Codnor Park and Ironville railway station opened nearby in 1847 on the Midland Railway Erewash Valley Line. The tracks are still in place today; however, the line is not in use. They can be seen from trains running between Langley Mill and Alfreton
