Railways were born in this region and today volunteers work on heritage lines to showcase all aspects of the railways in this rich and varied area. South of the River Tyne, the long-established Tanfield Railway recreates authentic scenes from the industrial past alongside its historical neighbour, the Bowes Railway, which has the only remaining rope-hauled line in the country. The Beamish Museum takes the visitor back in time to 1825, 1913 and the 1950s, the attractions including railways of the period on three different sections of track. Whilst at Shildon, which was on the original Stockton to Darlington line, an offshoot of the National Railway Museum has been developed on the site of the old wagon works and hosted the ‘Great Gathering’ of the six remaining A4 Pacifics.All these lines and museums are explored here through stunning photographs that capture a bygone age in a variety of settings, both pastoral and industrial.

These pages document his journey from the deserts of Utah to the magnificence of the Canadian Rockies, from the green fields of Wisconsin to the towering Giant Redwoods of California.

In 2025 the Tanfield Railway in County Durham celebrates its 300th anniversary, having been constructed in 1725 as a wagonway to carry coal from the North Durham coalfields to the River Tyne. By the 1960s it was in the hands of British Railways before volunteers took over early the following decade. Since that time the heritage railway has developed as a centre for the preservation of industrial locomotives, which operate over a 3-mile section from East Tanfield to Sunniside. Notable locations along the route include Causey Arch, the first bridge built to carry a railway in 1726, and Marley Hill, the oldest continuously operating engine shed, built in 1854. Although constructed for the transportation of coal, passenger trains now run regularly for visitors on Sundays, between March and October, and in December, the North Pole Express takes eager children to visit Father Christmas. Train enthusiasts are also catered for with demonstration coal trains and an annual gala weekend. All these events are possible due to the efforts of a dedicated group of volunteers of all ages who ensure that traditional skills are passed from one generation to the next.Henry Elliott and Dave Hewitt illustrate Tanfield’s story as a heritage railway with stunning photographs and informative captions.
