Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway

The Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway is a preserved Heritage Railway which runs over part of the former Skipton-Ilkley line which was closed in 1965 and has steadily been rebuilt. You travel between Embsay station, built in 1888, and the award-winning station at Bolton Abbey with the journey taking you through picturesque Yorkshire Dales scenery.

 

No 69 is austerity tank engine that has 18" cylinders and is an ideal locomotive for running the line. It was built by Hunslets (3785) in 1953, and came to the railway from NCB South Hetton Colliery, County Durham.
