Middleton Railway - site of the first steam trains
Moor Road, Hunslet, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS10 2JQ
For Routes - Networks - connections, come to Middleton Railway because this is where steam railways were invented! Starting in 1812, the Leeds locos hauled 90-100 tonnes of coal into the city (without breaking the track - a problem that befell earlier designs). We even have a bit of track from 1812 to show you. There are of course many more nuggets of information to learn. To find out more, come and hear (and see) our illustrated talk. Although entry to the museum and the talk are free, you will need to buy a ticket if you want a ride on this, the world's oldest continuously-operating railway.
