This heritage railway is operated by the Bluebell Railway. Operations started less than 3 years after British Rail closed the line in 1957. Water towers are an essential part of the infrastructure on a steam railway because locomotives need copious quantities of H2O. A simple 'garden hose' cannot supply that large volume quickly enough for efficient running.
