  East Suffolk Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The East Suffolk Line is a railway line from Ipswich to Lowestoft in Suffolk.
The line was taken south to Ipswich and north to Great Yarmouth in 1859.
From Westerfield to Oulton Broad the line is signalled using Radio Electronic Token Block controlled from Saxmundham, and is the only line in England to use this system (the system is used elsewhere in the UK in Scotland and Wales).

 Mid Suffolk Light Railway
The Mid Suffolk Light Railway or 'Middy' as locals affectionately knew it was built at the turn of the century to benefit the people of Suffolk.
It was originally intended that the Middy would link the Great Eastern line at Haughley with the East Suffolk line at Halesworth but due to financial problems the line only ever reached as far as Laxfield.
However in 1990 a group of enthusiasts decided the line should not be forgotten and set about recreating a typical Mid Suffolk Station with buildings, rolling stock and artefacts from the period.

The lines have never been electrified, and much of the route still uses the old semaphore signals that were put in when the line was built.
The line passes through dense woodland, passing the Strumpshaw Fen RSPB reserve, which is located in wetlands between the Yare and the railway and can only be reached by crossing the line.
The station should not be confused with Oulton Broad South, which lies on the East Suffolk line as it passes to the south of the broad.

The first section of the line was opened in 1854 joining Halesworth to Beccles; five years later it was extended to Woodbridge, from where Eastern Counties Railway trains travelled to Ipswich and then to London.

The success of the East Suffolk line led to demands for branch lines and by 1922 there were rail connections to Framlingham, Aldeburgh and Southwold, the Aldeburgh line having its junction with the East Suffolk line at Saxmundham Station, opened in 1859.

 Boston & Maine's Ocean Terminal or the Lo-Line
At the line's very end by Boston Harbor the tracks took 90 degree turns both left and right and fanned out along the waterfront into several sidings friom which freight would be loaded onto ships.
Walking the line you can see places where large structures directly abut the tracks but in other spots you can see houses with windows looking right down into what was once a busy freight railroad.
Perhaps because of the population turn-over in East Boston since the early 1980's, Italian to Cambodian and thence to Brazillian, the Lo-Line isn't in the collective memory and stays well-hidden.

On May 14, 1691 Colonel William Smith bought from the Indian, John Mayhew, the land east of the Mastic river (Forge river) to the Southampton line (Eastport) except the two necks, "being Meritces (Moriches) and Mamanok Necks, lying together." This land was later covered by the Moriches patentship.
This time the new state of New York, which claimed that because of the British occupation, Suffolk residents were unable to contribute their fair share to the war effort, imposed on Suffolk a tax levy of 10,000 pounds to make up for it.
The name "Moriches" properly belongs to the neck just east of Terrill's river, but early in the history of this area it was applied to a very large district then known as East, Center and West Moriches.

In 1650, the line of division coincided almost identically with the subsequent Nassau-Suffolk county line, and thus for the first time the Suffolk County area assumed a distint political identity although, except for three townships and Gardiner's Island Manor, it also was still a wilderness unmarked and unclaimed by the whiteman.
