The Mid Suffolk light railway
The Mid Suffolk light railway, also known as the 'Middy', is a fine example of English history. After enthusiasts decided it shouldn't be forgotten, it is now resurrected as Suffolk's only standard gauge railway museum and ironically is busier now than it ever was. Today's 'Middy' is not only a museum, but runs regular steam trains and has a programme of carriage and wagon restoration complementing its efforts to recreate this slice of Edwardian England.
