The railway opened in 1904 branching east from Haughley with the intention of crossing Suffolk to Halesworth. It was never fully completed and ended up with the line ending in the middle of a field east of Laxfield. It was bankrupt from almost the very start and closed in July 1952. Stations along the line included Gipping Siding, Mendlesham, Brockford, Aspall & Thorndon, Kenton, Monksoham, Worlingworth, Horham, Stradbroke and Wilby.
A railway museum has now opened at Brockford / Wetheringsett and the railway operates along a short stretch of track, it is hoped that the line will be extended in due course.
