North Tyneside Steam Railway, Heritage railway in North Tyneside, England
The North Tyneside Steam Railway operates on Middle Engine Lane, running south for 2 miles from the museum to Percy Main through industrial landscapes.
Dating from 1986, this railway inherited the infrastructure of former coal transport lines that served the Northumberland Coalfield since the mid-18th century.
The railway preserves the industrial legacy of George and Robert Stephenson through exhibitions, including the early locomotive Billy from 1816.
The museum offers free entry while train rides require tickets, with special events such as Elf Express operating during winter months.
The site houses one of the oldest functioning steam engines worldwide, constructed by George Stephenson and maintained by dedicated volunteers.
