North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Heritage railway museum in North Yorkshire, England

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway stretches through 24 miles of tracks, connecting Pickering to Whitby through the national park's moorland landscape.

Starting operations in 1836 as part of the York and North Midland Railway, this line transformed into a preservation railway museum in 1967 after facing closure.

The railway functions with a team of 550 volunteers who maintain the locomotives, assist passengers, and preserve the historical equipment throughout the year.

The railway operates from March to November with steam trains departing from Pickering station, offering dining services and special seasonal events for visitors.

Goathland Station gained international recognition as the filming location for Hogsmeade Station in the first Harry Potter film and the television series Heartbeat.
