The Middleton Steam Railway is the world's oldest continuously working railway. It was founded in 1758 and is now a heritage railway run by volunteers from The Middleton Railway Trust Ltd. The railway operates passenger services along 1 mile (1.6 km) of track between its headquarters at Moor Road, Hunslet, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England and Park Halt on the outskirts of Middleton Park. This video includes footage of diesel shunters moving along the track, and some images taken from the carriage on a journey from Moor Road Station to Middleton Park, as well as the diesel loco reversing around the carriages to reposition itself for the return journey. There are also images from within the engine shed / museum featuring a number of diesel and steam locos.
