Old Bradford Railways

When Bradford ruled the textile world


Almost hourly trains to and from London


The ground and track plan of the station I knew 
well, Bradford Exchange


During transition in the late sixties from steam
to diesel


Very much turn of the last century as a GNR loco
awaits to leave with its train for the Alps. The GNR
engine men used to refer to the Queensbury lines
as going over the Alps, due to the steepness of
grades up to Queensbury and of course the 
long drag out of Keighley to Cullingworth.
