Ellesmere to Wrexham Railway Bangor-on-Dee Section.
Locomotive Dorothy Ellesmere to Wrexham Railway Bangor-on-Dee Section
Steam Locomotive 'Dorothy' working on the construction of the Ellesmere to Wrexham Railway Bangor-on-Dee Section.  The line carried it's first fare paying passengers in 1895.  It is fondly remembered by many as being a very scenic route.  Sadly like many other branch line railways it was extinguished during the Beeching orgy of destruction in the early 1960's.  The line ran from Wrexham Exchange Station to Ellesmere, stops were at Hightown Halt, Marchwiel, Sesswick Halt, Pickhill Halt, Bangor-on-Dee, Cloy Halt, Overton-on-Dee, Trench Halt and Elson Halt. From Ellesmere Station trains were available in the direction of Whitchurch or Oswestry, from Wrexham to Shotton, Chester or Shrewsbury.
