Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway - end of the line.

The Somerset & Dorset Railway ran between Bath Green Park and Bournemouth and was closed in 1966. The Somerset & Dorset Railway Heritage Trust have restored a short section of line from Midsomer Norton South station towards Chilcompton. This passenger train hauled by Sentinel steam engine 7109 "Joyce double-headed with "Austin 1" has reached the end of the line and has started to reverse back down to the station. Beyond this point was a cutting leading to Chilcompton tunnel, but the cutting was filled in many years ago.
