About

Heritage industrial, narrow gauge railway (2ft 6in between rails) linking the former paper mill site in Sittingbourne to the active paper mill at Kemsley Down. Almost all locomotives and coaches are original to the Railway, which has been operating since 1905. Your journey starts at Sittingbourne Viaduct station where the railway used to enter the long-demolished paper mill. Trains travel over the century-old reinforced concrete viaduct to Milton Creek Country Park, where it passes through the freshwater and saltwater marshes to arrive at Kemsley Down station within the paper mill. The journey takes about 15 minutes. Kemsley Down is our main base where the Footplate Cafe, shop, museum, picnic areas and gardens can be found.
