The Worth Valley branch out of Keighley climbs up the valley serving several small Pennine villages along the way. At Oakworth, the railway leaves the valley of the River Worth and enters the valley of Bridgehouse Beck, wherein lie Haworth and the line’s terminus at Oxenhope.
The line opened in 1867, funded predominantly by local wealthy mill owners. Within a very short time, the railway became part of the Midland Railway until in 1923 at the Grouping, it was absorbed into the new London Midland and Scottish Railway. Upon Nationalisation in 1948, the line became part of British Railways, and with its fortunes declining with the rise of competition from the roads, the branch closed in 1962.
A Preservation Society was formed which created a Company to buy the line outright, lease access into Keighley station and operate a regular public service. After many years of volunteer struggle, the line re-opened to passenger traffic in June 1968, although that dream of operating a regular public service never came to fruition.

There is another "Goods yard crane" preserved at the Bradford Industrial Museum and apparently they bring the old tram out on nice weather days.

Asian people showing an interest in their own countries heritage and history is a very rare, but good thing to see. Next you'll be walking a dog and doing some gardening ;-) (the last bit was a joke btw).

[@asa1973100]

Actually that’s a very valid point... And I to thought that same thing when I came across this gentleman’s uploads
