Shame you could not find a picture of the old bridge situated on Newstead Road, had me confused at first when I saw the Chickerell Road bridge!

Great video though!

@m4ttys I did finally manage to find a photo but that was after I'd uploaded the vid. Thanks for the comment.

Congrats putting together a first class video of this superb railway now lost for ever. I was born in Rodwell and worked on the railways. I had the privilige of working over this railway on numerous occasions firing the steam engines that ran over it. I was the fireman on the last passenger train to run over this line in 1965 just as they closed the line so this video is very nostalgic for me.

It maybe a nice walk now but nothing can replace travelling along it behind a steam loco, happy days!

Brilliant! Why did the Governments of the time wreck OUR railways? They are needed NOW!

Very interesting video - I often travelled to Portland in the past, and although I live in Dorset, I v'e not been up there in ages.....How we gone backwatds in destroying all our best railways in the insane rush of so-called "progress" !
