Catterick Camp railway station was a railway station in North Yorkshire, England. It was built as the terminus of the sub branch of the Eryholme-Richmond branch line to serve Catterick Camp, now Catterick Garrison. Along with the rest of the stations on the branch it was closed in 1964.
On 15 September 1917, a set of carriages ran away from the station and were derailed. According to the Darlington & Stockton Times of 22 September 1917, four soldiers were killed although one report claims three people were killed.[1][2]
