Enjoy a railway journey down the line from Bolton Abbey to Embsay along the stunning Yorkshire countryside. Enjoy a ride along the railway with a camera attached to the buffers of the train, on a windy but otherwise stunning winters day. This is a fantastic way to enjoy a full railway ride along the rails in the British countryside.
Filmed on a very fresh windy winters day, this steam train journey is simply stunning, and although the weather did threaten to rain all morning we managed to get some blue skies and stunning views. Three 4 mile journey is absolutely spectacular.
Taken from a camera attached to the very front of Beatrice, this is the second best way to enjoy this line, the first of course is visiting in person:

I found this to be an enjoyable and cheap day out with plenty of things to do and nice walks to be had, especially at the Bolton Abbey end of the railway. Of course the railway itself is always going to be the main event, and it was well kept, run on time and the staff are very friendly. If you haven't been to this one yet I highly recommend it, while it might not be the longest railway, it is perfect length for keeping the attention of children.
Beatrice, built 1945 under an order for two locomotives for the Ministry of Supply. Works number 2705 Beatrice, and 2704 (fate unknown).
2705 was delivered to The Ackton Hall Colliery Co. at Featherstone near Pontefract, named after colliery manager’s daughter. Because coal industry nationalisation was expected the company kept the loco in ex-works condition, steaming it once per month in order to claim maximum compensation for new plant.
Beatrice was given a major overhaul at the Hunslet works in 1964, also fitted with the “gas producer” system including an underfeed stoker. The loco was returned to Ackton Hall with a new NCB South Yorkshire Area livery of dark red rather than the original green, and now numbered S119 in the NCB fleet.
Sold into preservation in 1976, Operating from 1982 the loco has been at the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway for longer than her previous industrial career. Overhauled again and back at work in 2012, Beatrice has the upgrades of a rocking grate, hopper ashpan and a Lempor exhaust system.
