Swanage Railway Around The Railway - Behind the Scenes Engineering

New trunking at the Swanage Railway

On this page you will find regular articles on Behind the Scenes engineering activities on the Swanage Railway.

Articles will cover the Signals & Telegraph, Civil Engineering, Cranes, Telecomms and Permanent Way departments; though not all departments will be featured every month.

Should you wish to join any department at the railway then please see our volunteer pages for more information. Most of our volunteers have very little or no railway skills or experience when they join us, but learning these skills is very much part of the enjoyment of working on a heritage railway in one of the most picturesque areas of England.

You may also like to see our Latest News page which carries a wide range of reports on a variety of aspects of the railway.

The articles are presented in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, and you may need the free Adobe reader to view them.
