Crab & Winkle Line

The Canterbury and Whitstable Railway, sometimes affectionately known as the "Crab and Winkle Line", was an early British railway built by George & Robert Stephenson that opened in 1830. The line was a single track throughout with passing loops at Clowes Wood and the entrance to Tyler Hill tunnel. The line initially had stationary winding engines and some of the winding ponds can still be seen today. In 1923, the line became part of the Southern Railway and like many other lines around the country it suffered from competition from bus services. The line closed with effect from December 1952.


This Route is set between 1935 and 1945 and runs a mixture of freight services & passenger services. There are 5 stations along the route Whitstable Harbour, tankerton halt, South street halt, Blean & Tyler hill halt and Canterbury West. A large selection of Goods sidings at Canterbury West and Whitstable harbour have been reproduced and along with the challenging gradients in both directions it is hoped this will give plenty of entertainment for a short route.

Route Length: 6 mile branch line.

This is a very detailed route and I would recommend using the 64bit version of Train Simulator to run this.
