The Great Whipsnade Railway

The Whipsnade Wild Animal Park railway opened in 1970 as "The Whipsnade and Umfolozi Railway", named after the area in South Africa from where Whipsnade obtained their first group of white rhinos. As that time, the railway ran through the rhino paddock and it was only after the rhinos moved to their present location in 1985, that the name changed to "The Great Whipsnade Railway".

The first line only went about a mile, and was an `out and back' service. It was extended to its present length of almost two miles in 1973, and at the time was a unique way to help visitors gain the most from their day at the Park. The majority of the locomotives and rolling stock are genuine narrow-gauge (running on track 2' 6" wide), and were obtained from the Bowater paper mills at Sittingbourne, Kent.

As on the best railways, the locomotives all carry names - steam locos Chevalier, Superior and Excelsior and diesels Hector and Victor.

A commentary is often provided as the train leisurely steams through mixed paddocks of camels, yaks, some of the world's most endangered deer and antelope and past the elephant paddock.
