 The Story of the Southern Railway
The line was, of course, very much within the Great Western's sphere of influence, and it is a curious fact that after the South Western had acquired it, it was not until half a century later that it was linked with the parent system.
Moreover, the Ramsgate-Broadstairs line is not the steepest, the Dover-Deal branch having a ruling gradient of 1 in 70.
The Salisbury-Exeter section of the London and South Western is one of the steepest main lines in the country, the eighty-eight miles forming a constant succession of switch backs, with many miles ranging from 1 in 80 to 1 in 100, concluding with a brief 1 in 37 at Exeter.
