TF9913 : The Mid Norfolk Railway crossing Norwich Road (B1147), Dereham
taken 1 year ago, near to Dereham, Norfolk, England

The B1147 is a short road (8.5 miles) in central Norfolk.
Until the 1990s it started on the A47 in the centre of East Dereham and left town along Theatre Street. When the A47 bypass was built, the B1147 was also taken out of the town. It now starts at a GSJ on the A47 on the eastern edge of town and follows the pre-bypass A47 away from East Dereham through Etling Green before heading north and regaining its original route to the south of Swanton Morley.
The B1147 continues north through Swanton Morley and crosses the River Wensum. It goes through Bylaugh Wood before ending on the A1047 Bawdeswell bypass.
The Mid-Norfolk Railway or MNR is a heritage railway in Norfolk. Re-opening as a tourist line in the mid-1990s, it is often referred to as a "New Generation" heritage railway, especially since the start of preservation in 1974.
The 14-mile line runs through the centre of Norfolk between the market towns of Wymondham and Dereham via Yaxham, Thuxton and Kimberley Park, operating steam and diesel services. The operational line extends northwards from Dereham to Hoe.
It is the southern section of the former Wymondham, Dereham, Fakenham and Wells-next-the-Sea line, opened by the Norfolk Railway in 1847 and closed to passengers in stages from 1964 to 1969 as part of the Beeching cuts. The final section of the line closed to goods traffic in 1989. The northern section of this line has been operated by the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway since 1982.
The MNR is owned and operated by the Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust (a charitable trust), and is mostly operated and staffed by volunteers.
The line is the fifth longest preserved standard gauge railway in Great Britain.
