Chattenden & Upnor Railway

I am researching the history of the Chattenden and Upnor Military railway and am using my new found knowledge to persuade colleagues of mine at Medway Council to consider firstly: preservation of the route (e.g. with a cycle path) and secondly: possible future reinstatement as tourist attractions are boosters for the local economy.

If anybody has any ideas on this matter, or any resources such as book, photographs etc, I would be very interested to hear from you as it would all contribute to my argument. If a line can be rebuilt at the Welsh Highland, why ever not can a similar project be undertaken in Medway?? I am sure that a project such as this could gather all sorts of backing and support, for instance in terms of financial sponsorship and also in terms of voluntary labour to operate it.
