The Edge Hill Light Railway.  14th July 2007

The railway was built from 1919 to exploit the iron stone deposits at the top of Edge Hill. The line ran from a junction with the SMJ railway near the village of Fenny Compton up the escarpment by means of a cable hauled incline and terminated near to the village of Ratley.

The line was only really operational from 1922 to 1925
