The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (Heritage Railway Guide) Kindle Edition

This fantastic guide traces the history of, arguably, the most popular heritage railway in Britain from the origins of the line in the 1830s through the good, bad and controversial times, up to the present day. Every year since 1973, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) has transported hundreds of thousands of visitors in preserved steam and diesel-hauled trains between Pickering and Grosmont through an ancient landscape of unmatched beauty. When those trains started to run regularly to and from Whitby in 2007, it revived a service started by the Whitby & Pickering Railway Company back in 1836. The history of the NYMR is a fascinating one that will do well to be remembered. This book explores the journey, development and changes of the NYMR and is a fantastic guide to how the railway industry has changed over time.

    The NYMR ive been to many times, and its nice to have a book to go with it. Taking in the scenery of whats there from Pickering to Grosmont and some really nice shots of the railway within too. Sadly it was a gift so i didnt learn much more. Than i already knew. But you might learn something of this link to whitby and not from the NE either. From its inception in the 1800s right through to today and the last link to whitby. Running it takes time and effort by all, and although it does close up around autumn and reopens largely from the spring its provided a useful service to locals as well.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Narrative, Some Photos Could Have Been Better
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2024

    This is a very good book, let down only by some poorly reproduced photographs. Some tolerance should be expected for older archive views, but there is no excuse for early preservation-era material. On the plus side, the text is very interesting and informative. The book is almost equally split into two parts: early days and closure, and post-preservation. I like the way that the author has approached the latter, with fascinating insights into the challenges, dilemmas and achievements of the various departments of the railway. Motive power is only covered in general terms, with little about specific locomotives - I would have liked more, particularly about the locomotives used in the early years of preservation. Overall, a good read and a worthwhile purchase.
