	Plym Valley Railway History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Railway line running through the Plym Valley was opened on 22 June 1859, by the South Devon and Tavistock Railway from Plymouth (Tavistock Junction) to Tavistock, a subsidiary of the South Devon Company which took it over completely on 1 July 1865, after operating the line from the start.
		The London and South Western Railway, in the form of the Devon and Cornwall Railway, had arrived at Lydford, from Okehampton, on 12 October 1874.
		Edwardian prosperity with the booming in local railway travel, the 'Woolworths' 6d trips of the 1930's, the hectic years of the line running at capacity in the Second World War all came and went, and the line became part of the Western Region of British Railways on 1 January 1948.

		In 1845 the London & Birmingham Railway company was given parliamentary assent to construct a line from Blisworth, Northamptonshire to Peterborough.
		In 1974 the Peterborough development Corporation bought the nene valley line between Longville & Yarwell Junction and began leasing it to the PRS to perate the railway-a major milestone in the Railway's history.
		However, enthusiasts from other railways & preservation societies had already acquired almost all of the servicable ex-BR locomotives-all that was left was a collection of rusting hulks-and, apart from 73050, the society's locomotives - mostly small, industrial shunting engines - were not suitable for the 11 mile round trip.
