Twyford Waterworks - incline railway
This was used to bring raw materials up to the lime kilns above the site's quarry. This shows a wagon nearing the top. It is being hauled by a wire rope operated by a hydraulic engine and winch that are replacements for the originals. There is a turntable at the top of the incline. Apart from the incline, wagons were previously moved around the site by hand. There are now locomotives on the narrow gauge lines but these are not original to the site.
