High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yaxham Light Railway is a narrow gauge light railway situated adjacent to Yaxham railway station on the Mid-Norfolk Railway. It is located in the village of Yaxham in the English county of Norfolk. Mr D.C. Potter opened the site's first narrow gauge line in the former goods yard in 1967. This was constructed for his Hunslet 0-4-0ST, "Cackler", and the disused tracks of this line can still be seen from passing trains on the Mid-Norfolk Railway. In 1969 the loco was moved across the standard gauge line to the Yaxham Park Light Railway (YPLR), which ran for over 1/2 a mile in meadows beyond the station, eventually being replaced by today's Yaxham Light Railway. The railway has a gauge of 2 ft (610 mm) and the main running line is some 360 yd (329 m) long. It operates a collection of industrial railway equipment acquired over the years from quarries and other locations throughout the country. Passenger trains are usually hauled by a variety of vintage diesel locomotives.
