Tracing the Rails is a non-profit documentary production company dedicated to uncovering the forgotten history of the Steyning Line, a disused railway in West Sussex. Our YouTube documentary series explores the impact of this lost railway through in-depth interviews, archival footage, and on-location visits to sites rich with history.

Directed by Chris Kirk, our team is passionate about preserving local heritage and making this history accessible to everyone. With high production standards akin to professional TV documentaries, we aim to blend educational content with engaging storytelling, bringing to life the memories and remnants of the railway era.

Beyond documenting the past, we strive to connect communities and railway enthusiasts, offering insights into local history while creating a space for shared nostalgia. Through our Patreon, supporters can directly contribute to the ongoing production, ensuring that each story is told with the care and attention it deserves.

Whether you're a history buff, a railway enthusiast, or someone who loves a good story, Tracing the Rails invites you on a journey through time, one track at a time.
