The Norfolk Railway was a railway company in England that operated in the 19th century. Established in 1845, it primarily served the Norfolk region, connecting towns and facilitating the transport of goods and passengers. The railway played a significant role in the local economy by improving access to markets and resources. In 1883, the Norfolk Railway merged with other railways to form the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway. This merger aimed to enhance services and expand the network. Over the years, the railway system evolved, contributing to the development of the region's infrastructure and transportation.
