The Blake Dean Railway was an approximately 5.5 miles long narrow gauge railway with a gauge of 3 feet on the edge of Hardcastle Crags Valley in West Yorkshire. It went from Heptonstall to the dam construction sites of the Walshaw Dean Reservoirs.
The rail track started in Dawson City, a shanty town near Whitehall Nook in Heptonstall, along a hill side over several wooden bridges, passing the Widdop Gate and crossing the valley on a trestle bridge to the construction sites of the lower, middle and upper dam of the Walshaw Dean Reservoirs.
