The Mid-Norfolk Railway is a preserved steam
railway which runs between Wymondham Abbey and Dereham in Norfolk. The
railway is 11 miles long with possibilities to extend a further 5 miles to
County School eventually.
Wymondham Abbey Station is about 15-20 minutes walk from Wymondham Greater
Anglia station on the Norwich-Cambridge line, although it is planned to
build a new station close to the junction with Network Rail. It has huge
scope to become amongst the top ranking preserved lines in the country but
currently the single train service severely limits photographic
opportunities for those without cars.

Steam Locomotives
The Great Western Railway
(GWR) 9400 Class is a class of 0-6-0 pannier tank steam locomotive, used for
shunting and banking duties.
The first ten 9400s were the last steam engines built by the GWR. After
nationalisation in 1948, another 200 were built by private contractors for
British Railways (BR). Most had very short working lives as the duties for
which they were designed disappeared through changes in working practices or
were taken over by diesel locomotives. Two locomotives survived into
preservation, one as part of the National Collection.
