EHLR Railway

Barry Freeman GRA writes 'The railway opened in 1919 and closed in 1925. Both locomotives stood derelict at Kineton for 21 years, until 1946 when they were at last scrapped. I remember, as a nine year old, seeing them there not long before they were broken up'. To view Barry's painting of EHLR No 2 in a similar state to those portrayed on this page see image 'bf2'.
