[1] The line opened as far as North Walsham in 1874, but was in an incomplete state – with neither crossing keeper's cottages or goods sheds being finished.

[3] Gunton station, and the crossing keeper's cottages to the south, were built by Lord Suffield to blend into the estate.

[4] The single track railway between Norwich and Cromer being finally opened for the summer of 1877 – although the lightly constructed sand embankments were noted as a concern by the line's inspector.

[9] The branch joined the Great Eastern Railway's line from Dereham to Fakenham at Broom Green, where there was a 20 chain curve.

Leaving the Yare valley, trains arrive at Salhouse station, 6 miles from Norwich, which retains two operational platforms, although the goods yard closed on 18 April 1966.

The next station was reached after passing over the longest viaduct on the route, a 55-foot structure originally built using timber but rebuilt in the 1890s, over the River Bure.

This was formerly the junction for the ENR branch line to Aylsham and County School, and also marks the limit of the double track section.

The goods yard was closed on 13 July 1964, but the abolished signal box remains in situ as a shed and garage.

Leaving North Walsham, trains soon pass over the former Midland and Great Northern line to Melton Constable, now in use as part of the Weavers' Way long-distance footpath.

Gunton Station was built primarily for the convenience of Lord Suffield (a major investor in the original East Norfolk Railway Company[12]).

[13] The station (along with the East Norfolk line) was incorporated into the Great Eastern Railway, who had operated the services from the beginning.

This section was then partially relaid in 1960, with the Themelthorpe Curve goods link with the former Norwich line of the M&GN being opened 12 September.

The next station, Reepham also remains, along with its large goods shed and former yard, although a road improvement scheme in the town has partially blocked a section of the line.

[15] The final section of embankment before Broom Green has been ploughed in, and few traces remain of the southern cord of the ENR triangle connecting with the MNR.

From Broom Green shares the formation of former Wymondham, Dereham, Fakenham and Wells-next-the-Sea for the final mile to County School.

The East Norfolk Railway proposed a line from Cawston to Cley and Blakeney in 1879, with an intermediate station planned for Holt.

The proposed line had very little local support, especially in Holt - where the station was in fact going to be located in Letheringsett rather than the named town.
