Here is another picture of the little railway that ran for more than half a century from Brighton to the Devil’s Dyke.
The two-car steam train is nearing the end of the seven-mile journey, having gone up one of the steepest gradients for a railway in Britain.
It went so slowly that passengers sometimes jumped out and walked beside the train. Even then it did not actually reach the Dyke and passengers had a hard climb to the beauty spot.
Sadly, the line closed before the Second World War and part of it is now used as a cycle track. What an attraction it would have been had it somehow survived.
