Dartmouth Steam Railway

In this gallery you will see a collection of Dartmouth Steam Railway photographs which also include visiting locos.

The Dartmouth Steam Railway is situated on the former Great Western Railway branch line between Paignton and Kingswear in South Devon. It is 6.7 miles (10.8 km) in length and has five stations, Paignton, Goodrington Sands, Churston, Greenway and Kingswear.

In 1859 the line had started being built broad gauge size and was completed in 1864. During 1892 the track was converted to standard gauge.

In 1968 the Ministry of Transport proposed that the line should be closed. The line eventually closed in October 1972. During December 1972 the line was sold to the Dart Valley Light Railway Ltd.

Over the years the name of the line has changed from the Dart Valley Light Railway Ltd to, Torbay Steam Railway to Torbay and Dartmouth Railway to Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway to its present name.

I hope you enjoy my Dartmouth Steam Railway photographs!
