COLCHESTER, SUDBURY, AND HALSTEAD RAILWAY, a railway in the north of Essex and on the south border of Suffolk. It strikes off from the Eastern Counties railway at Marks-Tey Junction, 5 miles WSW of Colchester; goes 3½ miles northward to Chapel; and divides there into two lines, the one going north by westward 8¼ miles to Sudbury, the other going north-westward 9½ miles, past Halstead, to Castle-Hedingham. It was authorized in 1846, and reconstituted in 1855.
