You are absolutely right,in the UK there is a major project under way at the great central railway in Leicestershire at Loughborough to reconnect the two halves of the former great central mainline to creat an,18 mile heritage main line that will allow charter trains to run directly from the midland main line. The G.C.R was closed in the mid 60's as part of the beeching cuts where many lines were closed. Now the heritage railway has already installed a bridge over the main line at Loughborough this was carried out around 4 or 5 years ago, another bridge was rebuilt a steel girder bridge over the union canal was also repaired,all that's left to do is rebuild a section of the embankment and its good to go. The railway were told that this project would be impossible to achieve but with a lot of hard work much of the work has been carried out, so yes your project may well be possible to obtain and achieve , dreams/pipeline projects can be realised,you just need the locals to lend their unwavering support and cooperation.good luck
What a lovely train!
Sad how these beautiful engines won’t be able to work again
