Steaming into action! Restored locomotives cut an impressive sight as they travel along North Yorkshire heritage railway line [Mail]
Date: 26/04/2014
With a puff of steam and the rumble of wheels on train tracks, this is the impressive sight of restored steam locomotives charging through the North Yorkshire countryside for a weekend of action. Rail enthusiasts may have been forgiven for thinking they had stepped back in time as they admired the engines and took pleasure rides at this year's Steam Gala Weekend. The North Yorkshire Moors railway was among 5,000 miles of track and 2,300 stations closed by Dr Richard Beeching in 1963 but was brought back to life four decades later and is now the busiest heritage route in the world.
