The Middleton Railway and Tanfield Railway appear to be the oldest railway lines in the world...
We visited the Middleton Railway end of August with our railway friend Peter H. and it was nice to see this railway. We had a very warm welcome from miss Janet Auckland and our guide and expert Ian Smith and also the other volunteers as the train guard, driver and fireman.
A nice ride with this very green locomotive up de hill and back. Followed by a visit to the museum and workshop.
We hope to meet again in our museum Train World in Brussels in the future?
Many thanks Jan and Gyula, Train World Hosts
