Shortest length of railway depicted on the 1:25k or 1:50k Ordnance Survey map

[SussexMan]

Was recently in Bideford, Devon and saw that the 210m long* Bideford Railway Heritage Centre track is marked on the 1:25k Ordnance Survey map. I'm uncertain whether it is marked on the 1:50k map. It looks like it is but coincides with other markings and appears to be slightly south of where it should be. Are there any shorter lengths of track marked on OS maps?

There are some old level crossings where track wasn't taken up, still marked on maps, do these count

I think the OP specifically mentioned 1:50,000 (1.25in/mile) and 1:25,000 (2.5in/mile) maps. Obviously the larger 25in/mile and 50in/mile OS plans will show shorter, individual lengths of track.

Mangapps is marked, but I think that is a bit longer.

A few miniature railways spring to mind, including Poole Park and Cambridge Model Engineering Society, but on checking those are both more than 200 m in total. Can anyone think of any others?

What about the short length of track beneath the A228 roundabout just south of Halling, Kent. It was constructed to serve a nearby quarry and isn't attached to any line, but remains extant.

Ravensprings Park, Brighouse is, but longer, Huddersfield's in Greenhead Park is on but their shorter track at Highfields doesn't which I would say is probably only 175m

Interesting. Certainly not on the 1:50k but I'm not sure about the 1:25k here. Is it the track or the boundary?

This is a screengrab from my OS 50,000 app from my phone (of the Bideford line). There's a solid black line (circled in red) that may well be the railway. It looks separate to the (dashed) boundary line to me.

There are some disconnected sidings at Wembley Park on the met that look like they might be smaller
An Stock S8 does not fit in to the individual roads ( 133.68m ) and I doubt it is more than 30 meters to the gap
The Bing map helpfully has a roundel over the gap
