This short railway loop line in Manchester was in service from 1877 to 1998, and the Metrolink partially reused the alignment from 2012 yet still barely anyone knows that it exists. This video is about a disused railway line that was referred to as the Cheetham Hill Loop. Enjoy!

I did talk a little too much a few times during this video, apologies!
I'm also really surprised how hard it was to research for this video. Almost every bit on information is from a different website, and I factchecked with other websites, and maybe asked people I know.
There is no Wikipedia article on this! (as of publishing)
