Remarks & Notes 
Bagnall 0-6-2T Triumph works past the steam pipes of a paper mill and over the concrete viaduct near Sittingbourne with an empty train. The Bowater's paper mill at Sittingbourne had a need for a transport system between the docks at Ridham and it's mill, about 5 miles away in Sittingbourne, this was constructed to 2' 6" gauge in 1908. In 1968 Bowaters decided to switch to road transport, but realised the historic importance of the railway and made arrangements for an enthusiast group to continue operate a section of the line. The line is now under threat of closure as new Swedish owners want to redevelop the land. The railway needs help see the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Railway website for information http://www.sklr.net/
