Cambrian Heritage Railways, Heritage railway in Shropshire, England
Cambrian Heritage Railways operates a short line between Oswestry and Weston Wharf through countryside in Shropshire. Steam and diesel locomotives pull passengers along this restored route through rural landscape.
The original railway company was established in 1864 to connect regional lines along the England-Wales border. The heritage railway today preserves and operates this piece of rail history for visitors.
The railway museum housed in the former goods depot displays artifacts and photographs that tell the story of rail transport in the region. Walking through, you can see how trains shaped connections between communities along the England-Wales border.
Trains depart from Oswestry station, which has parking, a shop, and restrooms on site. The station makes it easy to reach the railway and is close to other things to see in the area.
You can actually operate vintage trains yourself, including a 1980s Pacer unit and a locomotive that once pulled the Royal Train. This hands-on experience sets the railway apart from typical museum visits.
