| | Lynton & Barnstaple Railway |
 | | The railway started life with three Manning Wardle 2-6-2T locomotives, named 'Yeo' 'Exe' and 'Taw' after local rivers, but shortly after opening they purchased a fourth locomotive 'Lyn'. |
 | | On the outskirts of Barnstaple, about a quarter of a mile from the Town station, the LandBR had their locomotive and carriage works at Pilton Yard (also known as Pilton Bridge or just Pilton). |
 | | It was opened as an independent railway on 11th May 1898, taken over by the Southern Railway in 1923, and closed completely on 29th September 1935. |
