Whipsnade Zoo Railway

The Great Whipsnade Railway started life as a one mile "out and back" before the current two mile circular line was constructed in 1973.

The line is 2' 6" gauge and many of the locomotives and stock were obtained by the Zoo from the old Bowater Paper Mills at Sittingbourne, Kent.

There are three steam locomotives (Chevalier, Superior and Excelsior) and two diesels (Hector and Victor).
