Clarify the term "Railway Land" of the Lynn and Fakenham Railway Acts 1876/81

The Whitwell & Reepham Railway Preservation Society are a Heritage Railway and have been running for over 10 years. We would like to relay track on an old track bed running from Whitwell & Reepham Station to Lenwade Station, making sure the existing users can still use the land as well.
