Middleton Railway is the world's oldest continuously working railway. It was founded in 1758 and is now a heritage railway, run by volunteers from The Middleton Railway Trust Ltd. since 1960. It operates passenger services at weekends and on public holidays over around 1 mile (1.6 km) of track between its headquarters at Moor Road in Hunslet and Park Halt on the outskirts of Middleton Park. This wonderful collection of photos, pluicked from the YEP archive, turns back the clock to the 1990s and captures the joy and wonder of the engines enjoyed by visitors young and old.
