 At this time the railway ran in a circuit from the main station at "Exmoor Central", trains descending on a large embankment before climbing back up through a spiral tunnel.In 1996 a new station was opened at "Cape of Good Hope", which changed the line to an "end-to-end" layout.At the end of the 2001 season, the decision was taken to close the railway to the public and concentrate on building new steam locomotives and associated equipment.
