K&ESR No 19 at Rolvenden in 1973

"Norwegian" 2-6-0 No 19 (ex NSB 21c class No 376) is hauling a test train prior to reopening the first section of the line.

The Rolvenden site looks very undeveloped by present-day standards - even the Rother Valley Timber Company, behind the fence on the right, has expanded a lot since thosedays.

The water tank was almost the only feature at Rolvenden to survive rationalisation by British Railways after passenger services stopped in 1954
