Wales West Light Railway

Wales West Light Railway, Heritage railway museum in Silverhill, Alabama, US

Wales West Light Railway is a heritage railway museum in Silverhill operating on a narrow gauge track approximately 1.6 kilometers long. The wooden passenger cars mounted on steel frames with English-sourced wheels carry visitors on regular journeys throughout the day.

The Wales West Light Railway was built by Ann and Ken Zadnichek to simulate a Welsh narrow gauge line; the sources give no founding date. The steam locomotive Dame Ann, an 11,700-pound 0-4-2ST built by Exmoor Steam Railway in Bratton Fleming, England, was delivered in 2004 after trials at the Launceston Steam Railway in Cornwall. The diesel Gareth, a Simplex 40S built by Motor Rail in the mid-1960s, was bought from Alan Keef Ltd and used in constructing the railway.

The railway is owned by Ann and Ken Zadnichek and built to simulate a Welsh narrow gauge line, with a 2 ft track and a shorter 7.5-inch miniature ridable railway on the same site. The railway and its associated RV park together receive over 30,000 visitors a year.

The railway runs a 1.6-kilometre 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge line plus a shorter 7.5-inch miniature ridable railway, and an associated RV park shares the site; over 30,000 visitors come each year. Allow time for both the train ride and the miniature line.

Dame Ann is an 11,700-pound 0-4-2ST steam locomotive built by the Exmoor Steam Railway in Bratton Fleming, England, and delivered to the railway in 2004. When built, she was the first Port Class Hunslet engine produced in 83 years.
