Wells Harbour Railway
The Wells Harbour Railway is a gauge railway at Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, United Kingdom. It is long, running between Wells Harbour and Pinewoods. Diesel locomotives are used.
==History==
The Wells Harbour Railway was established in 1976 by Roy Francis.〔 It opened in July of that year. There are two stations, Harbour and Pinewoods. Harbour station is located at the town end of the line, and Pinewood is located at the seaward end of the line, where there is a caravan park and the beach is located.〔 The railway provides an alternative to the long walk between Wells next the Sea and its beach. A bus route once served Pinewoods, but this was withdrawn.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wells Harbour Railway )〕 The engine shed is located at Pinewoods.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wells Harbour Railway 10 ¼ inch )〕 Over 80,000 passengers were carried in the first two years of operation. In January 1978, a storm washed away over ½ mile (800 m) of track. The railway was rebuilt and reopened in July that year.〔 In 1980, Francis sold the Wells Harbour Railway and established the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway on part of the trackbed of the dismantled Wymondham to Wells Line. The railway was sold again in 1988, the new owners finding that it was in poor condition. In 1998, new carriages were supplied by Alan Keef of Ross on Wye, Hereford and Worcester. A new steam-outline diesel locomotive was supplied by Keef as the new carriages were too heavy for ''Weasel'' to pull. The railway was sold after the 2000 season, with the new owners improving the track and Pinewoods station. Another new locomotive was supplied in 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wells Harbour Railway History )〕
