Helston Railway, Heritage railway in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
The Helston Railway operates a 1.25-mile section of track between Prospidnick Halt and Truthall Halt through the Cornish countryside with vintage locomotives.
The original railway line opened in 1887 as a connection between Helston and Gwinear Road, serving agricultural needs and passenger transport until its closure in 1962.
The preservation society maintains historical rail equipment and practices, offering educational experiences about steam locomotion and transport methods from the 1950s.
Visitors can access the railway at Prospidnick using postcode TR13 0RY, where they find a shop and refreshments housed in a restored diesel railcar.
The railway features the Cober Viaduct, spanning 370 feet with six arches, marking the most southerly heritage railway operation in England.
