The Pensioners Bringing a Steam Giant Back to Life | Yorkshire Steam | S1 E4 | Our Stories

At the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, a dedicated team of volunteers is finally nearing the end of an extraordinary three-year project to restore a famous steam locomotive. These passionate railway enthusiasts have spent thousands of hours bringing a historic engine back to life, determined to preserve a piece of Britain’s railway heritage for future generations. As the restoration reaches a crucial stage, the team hopes all their hard work will pay off. Alongside the restoration, we join the railway’s engine crews for one of steam railways’ most cherished traditions — the famous footplate fry-up. Yorkshire Steam follows the volunteers and staff who keep one of Britain’s most iconic heritage railways running.
