Somersby Railway

The Somersby Railway is a reasonably long railway, it was never absorbed into The Big Four however used multiple engines from each of them including some specially built engines for the railway and some that were properly bought by the railway (most before The Big Four). The railway had close ties with Ahrns & CO. despite rarely using any engines from them, minus a few shunters purchased in the 20's. After closing in 1969, the Railway was preserved in 1971 by the Somersby Railway Preservation Trust.
