Two lines

[class37418stag]

Hello everyone

One line by only passenger train running and other line by only freight train by same land

One line to terminus for local passenger

Other line to freight siding and under bridge link to British steel and chemical work and power station

[Suzie]

Sounds a bit like the 'Withered Arm' in Devon where a former double track line is split in two single track lines, one for freight and the other for passenger.

[Rivercider]

Or a bit like the situation in the Avonmouth area where the former double line has been split,

one track is now a single line for the local passenger service to Severn Beach while the other line

serves freight locations including the Avonmout BBHT (Bristol Bulk Handling Terminal)

The Largs branch beyond Ardrossan comprises two single lines - one for passengers (electrified)  and one to serve the Hunterston coal terminal (not electrified)

The electrified passenger line is used by passenger trains in both directions (obviously !) and Down direction freights, the non-electrified line is for Up freights only.

There's a great video by Locomaster Profiles called "National Grid" featuring a class 56 cab ride to Longannet with a rake of MGR hoppers. You can see the class 318's zooming past when the 56 is on the climb out of Hunterston.

The Newquay branch around Bugle had two separate lines, but the opposite of what the OP asks, ie the goods line terminates but the passenger line continued.

 

I believe that Stourbridge Town fit the description, but stand to be corrected on this.

Yes it did. Originally both tracks continued beyond the passenger station into extensive goods yards and several private sidings. Way back in the GWR period one track was terminated at the end of the passenger platform (there was only ever one platform), just before a road underbridge, and the other track continued over the bridge into the sidings. The bridge was a road bottleneck as it was very low height and the road was one of the main routes into the town centre. As the bus station was in the station forecourt and the bus garage directly opposite it, this caused a lot of unnecessary bus mileage, and restricted the use of double deckers on routes that needed them (and fed the trains). In BR days the bridge was completely rebuilt as a single track for the freight line, and the road beneath lowered.

Finally the goods yard and private sidings closed, the line leading to them was lifted and the bridge completely removed, leaving just the single passenger line down from Stourbridge Junction. The passenger station has been relocated slightly nearer the Junction. The sight of railcars overhanging the road where the bridge had been when rail conditions on the steep downgrade caused them to overrun the buffer stop no longer happens.

There's a a pair of Oakwood Press books that give all the detail anyone could wish for.
