due to the length of time it took to achieve this, the railway continued to operate for a number of years. Two locomotives and two speeders had been stranded on the far side of the breach from the factory. The railway finally closed in 1977. Current status Following closure of the railway, most of the track was lifted, but the steel bridges were mostly left in place. Some odd lengths of track remain in place, particularly on some of the longer bridges. Some of the 3-foot gauge rolling stock survives. Brazil class 0-4-2ST, 'Sir Murray Morrison', went to the Hampshire Narrow Gauge Society, where much of it was reused as spare parts, while the funnel, cab and chassis were subsequently rebuilt by Alan Keef. The rebuilt locomotive was named 'Dromod', and worked on the Cavan and Leitrim Railway at Dromod from 1994, but in 2019 was at Fowler and Co in Cumbria for rebuilding. Wickham inspection car W6/11-4 is also on the Cavan and Leitrim Railway. A Wickham inspection car and three tippler skips are in the Isle of Man. In 2005 there was talk of reopening part of the Upper Works Railway as a tourist attraction.
