In 1915 the line between and Newport was electrified. On completion of the work, there were four tracks between Stillington Junction and Carlton West Junction; the southern pair carried the freight trains and were electrified, whilst the northern pair carried the passenger trains and remained steam-worked. At Carlton station, the platforms were only on the northern pair of tracks.
