The Colne Valley & Halstead Railway, preserving a small fragment of Britain's steam train heritage.
The Colne Valley Railway (CVR) is located near Castle Hedingham in the North Essex Countryside. The railway occupies part of the former Colne Valley and Halstead Railway (CVHR), which opened in stages between 16 April 1860 and 10 May 1863. It is the work of dedicated volunteers preserving a fragment of England rail heritage. A pretty line, almost a mile long, with relocated station buildings, signal boxes and bridges all lovingly restored and rebuilt. A large and varied collection of operational vintage steam and diesel engines, carriages and wagons that represent much of our Railway Heritage.
