The train now leaving Horsted Keynes is heading for Memory Lane.
The Bluebell Railway station in the heart of Sussex is the launch site for a video, The Lost Railway, A Return Ticket to the Steyning Line, made by Sussex firm, Off The Rails.
The line closed in 1966, a casualty of Dr Beeching's axe.
What the then British Railways chairman, who lived in East Grinstead, did not know was an industry would grow from the memories of the old lines and stations like Steyning.
Off The Rails was founded three years ago by designer, printer and local historian Philip Gardner at a studio and workshop in Hove.
It started by making reproduction railway station name signs.
Mr Gardner said: "When the stations were closed, the signs and equipment were sold off very cheaply.
Now they are very scarce and fetch huge sums. Not long ago, a sign for Barnstable Town in pre-British Rail Great Western colours sold for £1,200 at auction.
"You might be able to pick up one from Steyning for £400 to £500.
They would have been sold for a few shillings when the line closed."
The reproduction signs are in the colours of the six regional railways that once operated up and down the country.
To collectors of railway memorabilia, the signposts are known as "totems" and the pre-British Rail signs as targets.
They can be customised for house names and businesses and sell for £63.
To coincide with the launch of the video, an exhibition on the Steyning Line is touring the libraries of towns in West Sussex along the line. It is currently at Horsham and will visit Steyning, Bramber, Henfield and Partridge Green before moving to Worthing.
The film, produced by Brighton-based director Gerry Laurence, is based on a modern journey along the line with vintage footage and interviews with people who remember the line, including 93-year-old May Morey, who caught the train to school in the Twenties.
Steam enthusiast Bernard Holden, president of the Bluebell Railway and Charles Holden, son of one of the last station managers at Steyning, is also featured.
Features of the line included a station at the now-derelict Beeding Cement Works and a level crossing where a sixpenny toll was payable at the Toll Bridge in Shoreham.
