Back in 1896, a branch line for for Tollesbury to Kelvedon was given the go ahead. Construction for the line began in 1902 and was opened in 1904.
The stations they had were:
Kelvedon (Low Level)
Feering Halt
Inworth
Tiptree
Tolleshunt Knights
Tolleshunt D'Arcy
Tollesbury
Tollesbury Pier
The line extentsion to the Tollesbury pier was open in 1907, but due to the isolation of the location, the station there was closed in 1921 and the pier went into dis-repair and was washed away in 1953 by floods.
The line continued to operate until 1951 when passenger service cessed. The line was still used for transporting goods to Kelvedon main station, but the line finally closed in 1962 where all the rails and stations were removed.
The branch line is usually mentioned when due to the old Wisbech & Upwell tram coachs that would appear in the 1952 comedy film: The Titfield Thunderbolt.
This vid simply shows the stations as well as locomotives that were used during the use of the line.
The music that has been used is from Final Fantasy Unlimited (but don't know the music title or composer) and Chigley (Time Flies By... by Freddie Philips)
