Esso tank wagon at Dereham station in 2005
This tank wagon was in as it came to the railway state. I will add a number later and a photo in its done up state. With so much being done on this railway it may be a little while or next week?
Dereham station building in 2005
The Mid-Norfolk was mainly a diesel line in 2005. But was in 2005 putting in water cranes and water tanks, so steam could use the line. Each summer now the Mid-Norfolk hirers in a steam locomotive and now has as one or two steam gala's a year.
It now has a working water tank and water crane and pits to service locomotives and now a new engine shed in 2019 at Derham.
This part of the web site has pages of photos taken on the Mid-Norfolk in 2005
The Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust
It was only around 1995 that The Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust started to restore this line between Dereham and Wymondham. It now has 17.5 miles of track (11.5 miles is in use) which when its is all in use, will be one of longer preserved railways in the UK. A lot of the other preserved railways had already had a twenty year start when they started.
