Editing Heritage railway (section)

==In popular culture==
The preservation of the [[Talyllyn Railway]] was the inspiration for the 1953 [[Ealing Studios]] comedy ''[[The Titfield Thunderbolt]]''. The film is centred on the preservation of a fictional Somerset branch line from Titfield to Mallingford. Filmed on the [[Camerton branch]] in the summer of 1952, the branch was lifted after production had finished.

Many preserved railways also served as a filming location for several production companies; for example, the [[Keighley and Worth Valley Railway]] served as a filming location for the [[The Railway Children (1970 film)|1970 adaptation]] of ''[[The Railway Children]]''.

Series three of ''[[Survivors (1975 TV series)|Survivors]]'' uses heritage railways to help reestablish transportation, communication and trade in post-apocalyptic England.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}
