This railway was abandoned in 1898 and left in the charge of two gangers to keep the grass down. Rather inventively, they used grazing pigs to help with this.

Its undated, but I believe this picture is from around 1899 so after abandonment and I imagine the duckboard has been placed by the gangers to make their life easier. No trains expected as the railway is closed, indeed the passenger coach can be seen on the right minus its wheels.
