Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway
Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, Heritage light railway in Kent, England
The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway extends 13.5 miles from Hythe to Dungeness, passing through St. Mary's Bay and New Romney stations.
The railway commenced operations in July 1927 with the Mountain Class locomotive Hercules carrying local mayors and military officials on its inaugural journey.
The railway maintains a fleet of miniature steam locomotives that operate daily services, connecting coastal communities while preserving British rail engineering traditions.
Visitors can board trains at multiple stations along the route, with service frequency increasing during summer months and school holidays.
The 15-inch gauge track system supported military operations during World War II, including coastal patrols with a miniature armored train.
