Saltburn is a railway station on the Tees Valley Line, which runs between Bishop Auckland and Saltburn, via Darlington. The station, situated 12 miles 57 chains (20.5 km) east of Middlesbrough, serves the seaside town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, in North Yorkshire.

The station was opened by the Stockton and Darlington Railway as the terminus of their line from Redcar on 17 August 1861; although the ornate station building was not finished until the following year. Eleven years later, the North Eastern Railway opened a line towards Brotton from the town, but this diverged from the original route some 440 yards (400 m)west of the 1861 station in order to avoid excessively steep gradients further east. This meant that passenger trains from the town to Loftus and Whitby that started in 1875 had to reverse into and out of the terminus before regaining the correct direction at Saltburn West Junction.

In its heyday, the station had four platforms and a sizeable number of carriage sidings to handle the large quantities of excursion trains that ran there; these included services from as far away as Leeds and Blackpool. There was also a short siding extension (approximately 300 yards (270 m)) from the main station to another platform at the rear of the railway-owned Zetland Hotel (opened in 1863), where passengers in first class carriages could disembark directly into their accommodation.

A 1974 remodelling scheme saw the station reduced in size with the two main platforms and signal box being taken out of use along with most of the sidings and one of the two running lines from West Junction.

Saltburn Railway Station Totem Magnet, the size of the magnet is 115x30mm and it comes on a backing card. There are two magnets on the back, ready to stick on the fridge.
