I'll show this to my dad, Dave Rowe

Interesting little documentary. Thanks!

Can I ask what filter effect you use to get that oil painting like aesthetic in the thumbnail?

It's wonderful to see the old L&B coming back to life after so many years neglected and forgotten. The loco and coaches look superb and really give the feel of the original line. Thanks for sharing.

Nice

It would be helpful to see the drums with the wire rope that make the rr possible. Ty

The Lavender Line at Isfield is a 1 mile of preserved track. does that count?

This could be driverless.

One of the best walks you can do is to go down either the Giant Stairway (near the Three Sisters) or the Golden Staircase (off Narrow Neck Trail) into the Jamieson Valley and walk to the bottom station of the Scenic Railway. Saves you the hassle of climbing back up, but you will still have to walk up top, too.

Isn't there a car lift up the side of a cliff in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada that could be considered a near vertical toothed gear railway?

Did the trip for the first time in 30 years just last year. The old train was an open car with wire mesh to prevent people putting their arms out, much more exciting but you got wet if it was raining.

The ride used to be a LOT better. When they replaced the train carriages with what's shown here, it went from being an exciting ride to something more like a boring elevator ride.

When I was a kid in Stourbridge in the early 60's the train from Stourbridge town used to go across the road where the bus station is now and down to a goods depot at the bottom of Lower High Street where the gasworks used to be. It was a two line if I remember right. From the goods depot it used to go across the road at a level crossing and follow the canal right down to Stourbridge rolling mills where it would terminate.

Surely its not a train as its only one carriage so it must be a locomotive ? Just saying.

Closed track off? What about HS2 is build on the same track????

I didn't see any milepost markers. How is the operator to know his location? 😂

Thanks for sharing this with us….. it shows what can be achieved I hope for pity sake they keep it going and not close it

Really good documentry

I still would like to take a ride on the Stourbridge branch line. The Class 139 are tiny but very popular on the Stourbridge Town branch line.

Ugly little Bubble car remindsme of the landing crafts in the 80s series V.

Beautiful! Thanks. Love that dried blood and custard.

This was actually filmed at the rear of the train and then reversed? The sound is unbearable.

I used to live opposite the Junction, and when I heard they were closing the line circa 1975, I made some late calls to Sir Stanley Yapp, Chairman of WMCC (If my memory serves me well.) He didn't take to me an ordinary person phoning him but he apparently found the money to keep the line open. Maybe I saved the line. Or maybe other considerations came into play. So thanks for the video reminding me that the line is flourishing. (PS I used it a lot and often got a ride with the driver up front in the old 'Bubble Car' Class 121 .)

Certainly the shortest passenger branch but there may be shorter freight lines?

i used the line when it was steam powered and twin track

Yay, third....

I thought Wrexham General to Wrexham Central is the shortest branch line? The distance is 0.44 Miles (for Wrexham General - Central) whilst Stourbridge Town - Stourbridge Junction is 0.7 Miles?

Yay, first....

I want to volunteering,I love beautiful trains 🚂🚃❤❤🙏🙏😎🌎🌎😎

Good film of the railway, thank you.

Quirky and beautiful
