An Engineer called Arthur Cadlick Pain born 1844,had became interested in the concept of low-c on his return from working overseas, following.the enactment of the Railway Construction Facilities which authorized railway construction without the necessity of an Act of Parliament if no affected objected . The Regulation of Railways Actb1868 authorized the construction of a light railway -

He discussed the idea of a light railway with Henry S Ellis a director of the B&ER, Pain suggested a line as a steam - or possibly horse operated - tramway running in or alongside the roadway, to serve Valley settlements, There were to be no stations , but the train would simply stopl at road crossing. It would be narrow gauge if the business was expected to be light ; and by securing the enthusiasm of people for the improvement of the district, land acquisition costs might be low.The line would be a standard gauge.

A public meeting was held at Uffculme on 15 May 1872 and the idea was received with enthusiasm and at another meeting he reported that he had prepare plans and a prospectus . There was some objections about the location of the Hemyock terminus , in case extension to the London and South Western Railway were later required; Honiton is about ten miles away., But over challenging terrain he There were objections to the scene among many positive opinions.

The Bill was presented to Parliament and it passed ,gaining it's Act on 15 May 1873 The Culme Valley Railway was now incorporated n to with a capital of £25.000

Invitations to tender for the construction were soon issued , in ten separate sections., the intention.enable small local contractors to participate , in the event that expectation was little justified and was soon abandoned D.A. Jardin of Hawarden , North Wales was awarded most of the heavy contacts for the earthworks and the track laying a total of £18.497.20s 7d

The B&ER , evidently believing the claim.about a six months construction period, quickly set about constructing locomotive's.and rolling stock to operate the line.

By Sep 1875 Pain was obliged to report that progress on construction had been poor and Jardine was warned that if this was not speed up.his contact would be terminated and would be transferred to Richard Broome

Broome was informed on 24 April 1875 that the company was running out of money The company had been paying the Locomotive hire charge that Broome was using and likely that they had taken responsibility for other costs not properly specified in Pains arrangements The financial crisis could be averted if the line could be opened although after an inspection the line was far from ready

More delay was incurred and Pain was given an ultimatum to complete by the year end ; this company was borrowing increasing sums of money , now beyond the authorised limit after inspection there were more issues still outstanding however after a further inspection the line was found to operate on one engine in steam principal,and a speed limit of 16mph

On Monday 29 May 1876 the line opened ,the construction took two and a half years instead of the six months and had cost £46,00 instead of the estimated £22.500

A formal opening.was organised for Thursday 1 June 1876 with a grand lunch ,rural sports and a ball

There were five mixed passenger and goods trains each way daily operated by the GWR

The financial performance of the line was extremely disappointing,with an income of £4 the directors had borrowed additional money on overdraft A number of measures were considered , including issuing share capital.,and it was no surprise when almost no interest was shown in buying into a loss making business.

The Company were longer the owners and was took over by the Great Western Railway and they upgraded the line and the Locomotive's.
