Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The North Norfolk Railway. On its way to Sheringham station > 747652. The carriages are hauled by a restored ex-British Railways Bulleid 'Battle of Britain' class pacific locomotive Nº34081 92 SQUADRON, so named after the Spitfire squadron that was based at Biggin Hill during the Battle of Britain in 1940. This locomotive entered service in September 1948 and was withdrawn in August 1964 and it is now owned by the Battle of Britain Locomotive Society.
The Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway network once covered the map of Norfolk. The section between Sheringham and Holt (opened 1887, closed 1964) was saved by enthusiasts and re-opened in stages from 1976 onwards. Today, as the Poppy Line, it is one of Britain's foremost heritage railways, carrying over 126,000 passengers a year. The railway was built by William Marriott, who took the role of unpaid Assistant Engineer and was later offered a permanent post as Engineer by Wilkinson & Jarvis, the railway contractor. |
