26 Steam Locos Tackle The 1/49 ! The North Yorkshire Moors Railway

A compilation of 26 preserved steam locomotives climbing one of the most notorious gradients in railway preservation on arguably the UK's premier heritage railway. The 1/49 section begins just after the motive power depot and continues all the way to the platform ramp at Goathland. While the climb to the summit is way beyond Goathland station and on easier grades the severity of the climb is in excess of 2.5 miles, the full climb from Grosmont is around three miles in length. I have been visiting the railway since I was a child but I have only been recording videos since 2014. The majority of angles that are captured cover the majority of the climb and are showcased in geographical sequence. Only one small section of line does not feature, that is line from Green End Bank to the start of the long straight to Beck Hole, which is about 500 yards give or take, this is due to the tightness of the land and the adjacent cutting/embankments. I hope you enjoy the compilation of locos which I have been able to capture over the years.
