The history of one of Britain's most beloved preservation railways, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, from its origins as Yorkshire's third-oldest railway, with trains pulled by horses instead of locomotives, through it's growth, and eventual closure as a result of the Beeching report, as well as it's resurrection at the hands of an army of passionate volunteers and donors!

If you're anything like me, viewing historical Ordnance Survey maps side by side with modern satellite views will certainly eat up far too much of your time!
