Camber Railway

The Camber Railway was a narrow gauge railway located on the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic. It was one of the most southerly railways in the world.
The Camber Railway was constructed to support the Admiralty wireless station, supplying coal to generators which powered the station. It ran along the north side of Stanley Harbour for about.

History

There were two Kerr, Stuart and Company "Wren" class 0-4-0 steam tank locomotives. The system fell into disuse after the wireless station was modernised. Parts of the infrastructure were used in the Falklands War; rails were taken for use in some defensive structures.

Both locomotives lay derelict at Navy Point for many years, until they were rescued and placed into containers for safety. The Falkland Islands Government considered cosmetically restoring one of the engines, but this idea was abandoned in 2010.
