Jaywick Miniature Railway
Narrow gauge railway in the UK
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jaywick Miniature Railway was a 18 in (457 mm)[1] narrow gauge railway running along the seafront of the Essex coastline, connecting Clacton on Sea to the recently opened holiday resort of Jaywick.[2] It opened in July 1936 and closed in September 1939 following the outbreak of World War II.[3] After the war three coaches were sold to the New Brighton Miniature Railway. The latter closed in 1965, and the coaches were then transferred to the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.[4] The vertical boiler steam locomotive survives, in much rebuilt form, preserved by the Ashover Light Railway Society at Rowsley South.[5]
