Creekmoor Light Railway

The Creekmoor Light Railway was a small, privately run two-foot narrow gauge railway near Poole in Dorset, England, that operated from October 1968 to April 1973. It was built by local enthusiasts, led by Trevor Waterman, using equipment salvaged from the closed Upton Brickworks narrow gauge network, and its rolling stock was adapted from old brick-carrying trolleys by flame-cutting and welding. Running about half a mile on Waterman's smallholdings, the line was originally intended to carry feed for pigs and operated informally in the late afternoons and at weekends for a small group of volunteers. Housing development forced the railway to relocate to Crockway Farm thirty miles away in 1973, but interest waned there and by 1978 the remaining stock was sold at auction through the Narrow Gauge Railway Society, with some of its volunteers going on to help found the Swanage Railway Society.
