Warrenby Halt was a railway station which opened in 1920. It was built to serve the village of Warrenby near Redcar, England, and the nearby Dorman Long steelworks. It consisted of wooden platforms and brick shelters and was gas-lit.[3]
In 1978, the railway was diverted to allow for the building of the Redcar steelworks, leaving Warrenby bypassed. A new station, Redcar British Steel, opened on the deviated line to take its place.[4]
One of Warrenby Halt's platforms survives at Newton Dale Halt on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.[5]
