Steam Railway Preservation

This photo was taken at Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, West Yorkshire. The Railway Children (1970) was filmed at Oakworth Station and the Paper Chase sequence was filmed at one of the tunnels near Haworth as well as the Landslide disaster. The Family House 'Treetops' stands on the moors not far from Oakworth. This photo shows Keighley Station which was used in 'Yanks', starring Richard Gere and other US soldiers during WW2. 'Born & Bred' used Damems Station (the smallest station in the UK) and Poirot walked up the cobbled hill alongside that station accompanied by Hastings and Japp (in The Hunters Lodge Mystery.) Quite a surprising number of series and films have used this preserved railway as an integral part of their stories. I will post many more steam railway photos as I am mad about steam engines, carriages and the preservation movement. I STILL want to drive a steam engine just like when I was a child!
