The River Callan is a small river near Thomas' Branch Line.
Course[]
The river begins just west of Hackenbeck and runs south-west for roughly five kilometers before joining the River Els near Elsbridge. The main road from Elsbridge to Ffarquhar runs on the opposite side of the stream from Thomas' Branch Line.
