Edge Hill Light Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Edge Hill Light Railway, one of Colonel Stephens railways, was in Warwickshire, England. It was designed to carry iron ore from Edge Hill Quarries to Burton Dassett where a junction was made with the Stratford-upon-Avon and Midland Junction Railway. It was never officially opened, but began operating in 1922. In the middle of the line was cable-worked incline at 1 in 6. Within three years it was found that the iron ore deposits were uneconomic, and the line closed: it was not dismantled until 1946.
