Middleton Railway, Leeds

The Middleton railway was established by an Act of Parliament in 1758. The Middleton Railway can claim to be the oldest railway in the world. The first successful, revenue earning, steam locomotives also entered service there in 1812. The railway remained in service until 1968 when Middleton Broom pit closed. The Middleton railway line never closed. It was taken over in 1960 to become the first standard gauge railway to be taken over by volunteers.
