Steam Locomotive 'Dorothy' working on the construction
of the Ellesmere to Wrexham Railway Bangor-on-Dee Section. The
line carried it's first fare paying passengers in 1895. It
is fondly remembered by many as being a very scenic route. Sadly
like many other branch line railways it was extinguished during
the Beeching orgy of destruction in the early 1960's. The
line ran from Wrexham Exchange Station to Ellesmere, stops were
at Hightown Halt, Marchwiel, Sesswick Halt, Pickhill Halt, Bangor-on-Dee,
Cloy Halt, Overton-on-Dee, Trench Halt and Elson Halt. From Ellesmere
Station trains were available in the direction of Whitchurch or
Oswestry, from Wrexham to Shotton, Chester or Shrewsbury. |
