Middleton Railway, Leeds - 50th Anniversary Gala

A quick visit on the Sunday. Three steam engines and two diesel shunters in action.

This is a less well known preserved railway but has tons of history dating back to 1758 making it the oldest working railway in the world. Originally built to transport coal from the local mines to the River Aire. 50 years ago this was the first standard gauge railway to be operated by volunteers.
