Volk's Electric Railway - 15/06/15
Volk's Electric Railway (VER) is a narrow gauge heritage railway that runs along the eastern section of seafront at Brighton. It was built by Magnus Volk, the first section being completed in August 1883, and is the oldest operating electric railway in the world.
Although it was preceded by Werner von Siemens's 1879
demonstration line in Berlin and by the Gross-Lichterfelde Tramway of 1881, but neither of these lines are now operational.
The line operates as a tourist attraction, running during the summer months between terminal stations at Aquarium, a short distance from the Palace Pier and Black Rock, not far from the Brighton Marina, with an intermediate station and depot at Paston Place, now known as Halfway.
The gauge is 2 ft 8 1⁄2 in (825 mm), and is third rail electrified at 110 Volts DC. The line runs for just over one mile.
This video session was made on Monday afternoon 15th June 2015 aboard Car No 9 and at various locations along the route that was co-operated that day with twin car set 8 & 9.
