martd69 0 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Interesting because I'd never been aware of this line before, even though I know the area pretty well. Many years ago I used to drive along the Gotham- Kingston road every day and never realised there had been a railway around there. The line which I did know about was the Great Central branch which went to the Gypsum Works at Gotham, and crossed the Gotham-East Leake road on a level crossing just south of Gotham. You can still see that if you know where to look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ever so Fussy Doggy: "Woof, Woof, beats Walkies anytime!" PS: Thanks Pooh Bear for the charming image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
