Reepham (Norfolk)
Reepham station, closed to passengers in 1952, showing the passing loop and ground frame as it was on 29th September 1979 when freight traffic still passed. The train is a rail tour (the 'Anglian Explorer') heading for Lenwade via the very tight Themelthorpe curve. The motive power was 08250 which, for 9 Mk 1 coaches, was rather a big ask and time was inevitably lost on the branch. The line was finally closed and lifted in the 1980s, but the station lived on as a cycling centre and cafe.
