Austerity saddle tank 0-6-0 steam locomotive hauls a train up the steam incline between Rolvenden and Tenterden on the Kent & East Sussex Railway, UK
The Kent and East Sussex Railway today is a tourist attraction in the South East of England. It offers an 11 1⁄2 miles ( km)) ride through the Rother Valley in vintage and British Railways coaches usually hauled by a steam locomotive, although some off peak services are operated by diesel multiple unit. The preserved line currently runs (a total distance of 11 1⁄2 miles ( km)) from Tenterden Town station to Bodiam (within sight of the National Trust's Bodiam Castle), with an extra one mile ( km) of track to the Junction Road station site (though there are currently no plans to re-open for alighting). The railway has one of the steepest climbs on a heritage railway and the train here is seen on the climb between Rolvenden and Tenterden.
