A rail tour in 1993 provided the opportunity to travel along the branch line to Dungeness. Class 33 No. 33116 propelled 4TC unit Nos. 410 and 417. In the background, on the left, can be seen the crane gantry which lifts nuclear flasks onto wagons. On the horizon to the right is the unmistakable outline of the power station. © Wayne Walsh

 

Now much closer to the crane, we can see that the compound is fenced off and gated. The passing loop merges to single-track immediately before reaching the crane. © Wayne Walsh

Our rail tour begins its return leg back to Appledore. Here, looking towards Lydd, we can see the passing loop converging to single-track, in addition to the short siding shown on the track diagram. © Wayne Walsh
