Mollsmyre Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Gallery
Welcome
Welcome to The Mollsmyre Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Photo Gallery,

It contains photo's taken on visits to The Keighley Worth Valley Railway. The line is served well by variety of steam and Diesel Locomotives.Trains start the journey from Keighley Station and continue to climb from the Industrial landscape and on through the heart of Bronte country until they reach the end of the line at Oxenhope.In 1962 British Railways closed the line and The Railway Preservation era began eventually leading to the re-opening of the line to passengers on 29th June 1968.The Railway shot to fame featuring in the Highly popular 1970's film The Railway Children.

This site is dedicated to all the people that give up their time to make the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway what it is today,Thank You.

I will of course add to the site on a regular basis. I Hope you enjoy looking at these photo's as much as I did taking them.
The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway
The line was closed by British Railways in 1962,and re-opened to passengers on 29th June 1968. The branch line has wonderful atmospheric 1950s feel. The 5-miles long Worth Valley branch line runs from rural Oxenhope to the industrial Keighley.Other stations on the Line are Haworth,Oakworth Damems,Ingrow West and finally Keighley.Ingrow West is also the home of the excellent award-winning Museum of Rail Travel and Ingrow Loco Museum.

    About Me
    I was employed by British Rail for about 11yrs then spent about 8 years driving buses and coaches. Strangely enough it never occurred to me to take photographs at the time, and now with hindsight I bitterly regret not doing so as nearly all of the companies I was employed by have either disappeared or changed beyond recognition, The Railway included.

    I am presently driving HGV's for a living and spend what spare time I have photographing, and filming. My main interest lie in Preserved Buses and Heritage Railways. Although I am never far away from my camera's and will Photograph and Video just about anything of interest. I can at best be called a keen amateur Photographer and enjoy capturing the momment,and hopefully you will enjoy looking at them.
