The Steeple Grange Light Railway is a heritage railway at Wirksworth in Derbyshire, UK. It uses industrial locomotives and rolling stock from disused mines, quarries, and steelworks around the country. ==The line== The Steeple Grange is a gauge narrow gauge line, built in 1985 on the former Killer's Branch line from Steeple House Junction of the Cromford and High Peak Railway and Middleton Quarry in Derbyshire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Steeple Grange Light Railway )〕 The line features a steep 1:27 (3.7 %) gradient incline from the back of the engine shed to halfway up Killer's Branch. A crossover exists halfway up the hill as well as sidings on the site of Dark Lane mine, soon to be the coaching stock shed. Two extensions are being studied seriously: #The National Stone Centre has expressed a wish to see the light railway build a line on the old trackbed to its facilities, which would provide a link to the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway #The railway also wishes to extend the incline to the level crossing next to Middleton Quarry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steeple Grange Light Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
