Preservation
In the October 1968 of Railway Magazine it was announced that a preservation attempt was to be made on the Lowestoft to Yarmouth line, then under threat of closure by British Railways. The group's intention would have been to provide an all-year round commuter service, with extra steam-hauled trains in summer as a tourist attraction. This scheme did not come to fruition.
A Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway signal box, formerly at Laundry Lane (now known as Eastern Way) in Lowestoft, has been rebuilt as Dereham North at East Dereham on the Mid-Norfolk Railway.

Famous quotes containing the word preservation:
“The preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
“The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“Is not our role to stand for the one thing which means our own salvation here but with which it will also be possible to save the world, and with which Europe will be able to save itself, namely the preservation of the white man and his state?”
—Hendrik Verwoerd (1901–1966)
