The most significant occur around Leighton Buzzard. In the 19th century sand was carried by horse carts from quarries south of the town to be shipped on the <a href="/wiki/Dunstable" title="Dunstable">Dunstable</a>-<a href="/wiki/Leighton_Buzzard" title="Leighton Buzzard">Leighton Buzzard</a> railway. The carts damaged roads and resulted in claims for compensation against the quarry owners from Bedfordshire County Council.

The line was built using surplus equipment from the <a href="/wiki/War_Department_Light_Railways" title="War Department Light Railways">War Department Light Railways</a>. The railway was built to a gauge of <span class="nowrap">2 ft</span> (<span class="nowrap">610 mm</span>) and laid using mostly 30 lb/yd (14.9 kg/m) rail. The line opened using steam traction by two <a href="/wiki/Hudswell_Clarke" title="Hudswell Clarke">Hudswell Clarke</a> 0-6-0 side tank <a href="/wiki/Steam_locomotive" title="Steam locomotive">steam locomotives</a>. These proved inappropriate for the tightly-curved line and the steam locomotives were sold in 1921. From that point the railway was run using internal combustion, almost exclusively the products of the <a href="/wiki/Motor_Rail" title="Motor Rail">Motor Rail</a> company. It was one of the first railways in Britain entirely operated by internal combustion. </p><p>After the <a href="/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a> sand traffic returned to the roads. In 1953 a strike on mainline railways pushed more traffic onto the roads. By the mid-1960s only one sand quarry, Arnold's, still used the light railway. The BR line to Dunstable was closed in 1965, apart from a short stretch from Leighton Buzzard to Grovebury interchange sidings, which survived until 1969. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Preservation">Preservation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Leighton_Buzzard_Light_Railway&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Preservation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In November 1966 "The Iron Horse Railway Preservation Society" was formed with the objective of running passenger services on the line.

There are open <a href="/wiki/Level_crossing" title="Level crossing">level crossings</a> for which trains stop. </p><p>The railway began at Grovebury Sidings, where sand trains unloaded into washers and the sand was shipped to <a href="/wiki/Standard-gauge" class="mw-redirect" title="Standard-gauge">standard-gauge</a> trains on the Dunstable branch or to road. The sidings and industrial plant at Grovebury were replaced with an industrial estate in the early 1970s. </p><p>Trains from Grovebury crossed Billington Road by a level crossing and worked up a steep grade to Page's Park. Here a branch line south connected to the line's main engineering workshop and the Pratt's Pit quarry. In 2006 <a href="/wiki/Page%27s_Park_railway_station" title="Page's Park railway station">Page's Park</a> forms the southern terminus of the heritage railway. </p><p>From Page's Park the line curves north towards a summit at Red Barn. From there it descends at 1 in 60 (1.7%) before climbing again to cross Stanbridge Road. On the left is the site of Marley's Tile Works, now a housing estate, which was connected to the railway for most of its existence. The line descends Marley's Bank at a maximum of 1 in 25 (4%). Loaded sand trains to Grovebury Sidings often needed a banking locomotive. </p><p>At the bottom of Marley's Bank the line turns sharply north and runs along the level to Leedon Loop. The line here passes through housing. After Leedon, the railway crosses Hockliffe Road and crosses the <a href="/wiki/Clipstone_Brook" class="mw-redirect" title="Clipstone Brook">Clipstone Brook</a> and begins to climb again on a 1 in 50 (2%) <a href="/wiki/Grade_(slope)" title="Grade (slope)">gradient</a> to cross Vandyke Road. </p><p>Immediately after crossing Vandyke Road the line curves 90 degrees to Vandyke Junction where there was a passing loop. Here the branch line from Chamberlain's Barn and New Trees quarries joined the main line. A short section of this branch remains intact although heritage trains do not use it. The railway then runs parallel to Vandyke Road, climbing steadily to Bryan's Loop then descending again to cross the Shenley Hill Road. The line levels and continues to Stonehenge Works now the engineering workshop of the preserved railway. This is also the northern terminus of modern operations. </p><p>From Stonehenge the line continues northwards with a 1 mile (1.6 km) of <a href="/wiki/Double_track" class="mw-redirect" title="Double track">double track</a>, climbing towards the two Double Arches sand quarries, owned by Joseph Arnold and George Garside. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Preserved_locomotives">Preserved locomotives</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Leighton_Buzzard_Light_Railway&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Preserved locomotives"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>These are the locomotives on the preserved railway.
