At the Bridge
Riddles '4MT' 2-6-0 no.76079 passes the old trackbed at Moorgates with the 15:56 Grosmont-Pickering train. The old trackbed is the original Whitby to Pickering railway built by George Stephenson and opened in 1836 as a horse drawn tramway. After being sold to George Hudson, the so-called ‘Railway King’ in 1845 the line was upgraded to use steam locomotives, before being superseded by what is now the NYMR 20 years later.
