History
The Railway Series
Crosby Tunnel was cut by the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway (W&SR) in 1912 following the agreement made in that year to amalgamate with the Tidmouth, Knapford and Elsbridge Light Railway (TK&ER) to form the Tidmouth Wellsworth & Suddery Railway (TW&S). The tunnel, originally cut for a single line, was opened out for double track in 1915 when the North Western Railway took over the TW&SR.
