Chasewater Railway, Heritage railway in Staffordshire, England.
Chasewater Railway is a heritage line that runs on a 2-mile track around Chasewater Lake, connecting Brownhills West station to Chasetown Church Street. The journey passes through green countryside with views of the water.
The railway began in 1959 as part of a coal-transport network for the mining region of Cannock Chase. Later it was converted into a heritage operation to preserve its industrial past.
The museum at Brownhills West station displays old machines and equipment from the area's coal-mining past. Visitors can see how important railways were to the underground work.
Visitors can explore the site and station any day, but trains mainly run on weekends during warmer months. It is wise to check current schedules beforehand to make sure services are operating.
The railway crosses a massive causeway built up with earth and stone over the water. This elevated structure offers riders sweeping views across the entire reservoir as the train passes.
