[edit] History of the line

The line was built by the Buckfastleigh, Totnes and South Devon Railway and first opened on 1 May 1872. It was worked by the larger South Devon Railway Company until 1 February 1876 when this was amalgamated into the Great Western Railway.
The Buckfastleigh line was taken over by the Great Western Railway in 1897.
The railway was nationalised on 1 January 1948.
The line closed to all traffic on 7 September 1962 and was re-opened as the Dart Valley Railway, a preserved steam line, on 5 April 1969.
The South Devon Railway Trust took over the running of the line on 1 January 1991.
