Description
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway: A Heritage Line's Story. Since 1973, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway has been transporting visitors through one of Britain's most beautiful landscapes. Originally running between Pickering and Grosmont in preserved steam and diesel-hauled trains, it revived a service that had started in 1836 by the Whitby & Pickering Railway Company. The railway's revival to regular services to Whitby in 2007 marked an important milestone. This book tells the story of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from its origins in the 1830s to the challenges and compromises faced by heritage lines in the 21st century. With copious illustrations, it provides a detailed account of this fascinating railway's history and development. With over 112 pages of content, this book offers a comprehensive look at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway's past, present, and future.
