Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway

Photogalleries

The photogalleries are currently undergoing a major re-organisation, which will hopefully make things easier to find within our archive. This will then include current photographs of the line, photographs of the line before closure as well as comparative shots to show how things have changed. This will take some time to complete!! The old galleries will remain available until this is completed, but you can see the progress being made below. See also our digital archive containing artefacts from the line's operational days...

Old Photogallery Index

This page is an index of the various photogalleries on the website (we've got rather a lot...). There are over 1200 photos on the website, and they have been sorted into categories to aid finding them. Where possible they are in chronological order within the pages.

Also available is a map of the line with locations for photography which are available to the public (using footpaths, roads and other rights of way).
