Washford railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Washford railway station is a station on the West Somerset Railway, a heritage railway in Somerset, United Kingdom. It is situated in the village of Washford.
Washford is the second highest station on the line and is situated in a gap between the coastal cliffs and the Brendon Hills. It is accessed by two very steep inclines for steam trains - from Blue Anchor, there is a one mile section at 1 in 65, the steepest on the line.
The original station building of 1874 has a small shed next to it which originally housed the signal box, and now contains the levers from Midford on the Somerset & Dorset Railway. The Somerset And Dorset Railway Trust took over the station yard in 1976 and it now contains a number of relics from that railway.
