Midland Irish Peat had two peat works approximately 2 miles from each other, working separate bogs. The railway at Lansdale Yard, has a picturesque run of about a mile alongside fields, before reaching the bog.

There was a short maintenance siding just before the tracks reach the bog, and in April 2000 one of the locos, No.4 (Diema 2242) was here with a makeshift personnel carrier.

Out on the moors waiting to exchange wagons, were two locos, No.2 (Ransoms and Rapier No.84), and No.1 (Diema 2639/63). These two locos were in use double heading the trains back to the yard for unloading. A further smaller Diema loco and a Motor Rail were in use hauling the loaded trains off the temporary tracks from the loading area.

At the end of the yard, by the fuel tank next to the road, the Alan Keef loco No.3 (AK No.9) was in use shunting the empty wagons away from the tippler.

No.2, the Ransoms and Rapier loco dates back to 1938. It has been re-engined, and there is now little left of the original bodywork.

Fortunately when the railway closed, all the locos were saved for preservation. The bogs are still in production, now owed by Klasmann.
