In the 1970s, the sight of a passenger train from Norwich passing through Kimberley Park station was very unusual because its passenger service had been withdrawn in October 1969 and only a daily freight remained on the line. On this day, 21st April 1979, the gates are being closed behind a DMU charter to Fakenham and back on behalf of the Railway Development and Fakenbutham & Dereham Railway Societies. The line closed completely a decade later was later revived as the Mid Norfolk Railway.
