Work On South Tyndale Extension Started

View up the trackbed towards Kirkhaugh

First Track Laid

The first track has been laid on the long awaited extension of the South Tyndale Railway. They have laid the first ten lengths. This is the start of the project to lay all the way from the cuurent station of Kirkhaugh to Slaggyford a distance of some 2 1/2 mile.

The plan is to split this into into two sections the first being approximately 1 mile, where a new temporary terminus will be built.

Help Needed

Working party on the extension will be held on the second weekend of each month. This is a great chance to get involved in a very exciting project in a beautiful part of the country.
