History
Work was started on building Snape Maltings in Snape Village in 1846, and a light railway was planned to link it with Woodbridge (a main exporter of grains in this area) via Aldebough. There was allready a branchline being built to serve the maltings onto the main line but rumur had it it would be late opening. The track of the DVLR was to be built with as little money as possible and in antisipation of poor track conditions it was built to 2ft 9 inches and 3/4. With a huge effert locals built the railway and started to use it in 1858. The mainline branch serving the Snape Maltings opened the year after and the railway began to loose trade instantly. The GER mainline soon also linked up to Woodbridge and Aldebough and began to seriously threaten the DVLR's existance.
