Southend Pier Railway - a photo on Flickriver

            On the last day of 1972, a six-car train heads out towards the pier head. These 3ft 6in gauge units were built in 1949 by motor manufacturer AC Cars, running until closure in 1978. The line was re-gauged to 3ft and re-opened in 1986.

Scanned from a Kodachrome slide taken by the late Lyndon Rowe, now in my collection.
