Marsh Farm Junction was a railway junction in Shropshire where the GWR's line from Buildwas via Much Wenlock joined the LNWR/GWR joint line between Shrewsbury and Hereford.

Later designers and engineers, such as Thomas Telford, improved both the design and quality of the material in bridges (for example, at Buildwas upstream of Coalbrookdale) and aqueducts (such as the world-famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in North Wales).
A recent railtour operated by Vintage Trains proved the viability of operating 5 coach trains on the steep incline between Lightmoor and Buildwas with an ex-GWR 9400 Class pannier tank locomotive.
