Step back to the glorious age of rail at the world's oldest continuously working railway, founded in 1758. Originally built to carry coal cheaply from the Middleton pits to Casson Close in Leeds, 2012 sees its 200th anniversary of the first commercial steam locomotives. These days, rail fans can take the exciting 1-mile journey from Moor Road to Park Halt, taking 25 minutes, and gaze at the displays of historic Leeds-built engines.
