Editing Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (section)

===Operation===
The line was operated by the [[Midland Railway]], who owned most of the rail network in the area, and was eventually bought by the Midland in part due to interest from the rival railway company, the [[Great Northern Railway (Great Britain)|Great Northern]]. Upon sale of the railway, the mill owners made a profit,{{citation needed|date=April 2011}} which was unusual for many lines of that type, as (for strategic reasons) the Midland wanted to prevent the GN from taking over its territory. After becoming part of the [[London, Midland and Scottish Railway]] in 1923 during [[Railways Act 1921|Grouping]], ownership passed to [[British Rail]]ways (BR) following nationalisation in 1948.
