	Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (LandYR) was a major British railway company before the 1923 Grouping, although in 1922 it had already entered into a working agreement with the London and North Western Railway.
		The LandYR was incorporated in 1847, being an amalgamation of several important lines, the chief of which was the Manchester and Leeds Railway (itself having been incorporated in 1836).
		The LandYR's principal routes cut through the Pennines between Lancashire and Yorkshire: because of that there were a number of long tunnels: the longest being Summit Tunnel, 2885 yd (2597 m) in length, near Rochdale.

		It is doubtful if, in the railway mania of the 1840's anyone could have foreseen, that less than 100 years later, many lines would have fallen out of use but for the efforts of railway preservation societies.
		The East Lancashire Railway Preservation Society was formed in 1968 with a view to preserving a section of the former East Lancashire Railway, focusing on a section of line near Helmshore, but unfortunately this plan did not come to fruition.
		The East Lancashire Light Railway Company which leases the railway from the Trust and is responsible for the day to day running of the railway and is the formal legal structure under which the Society works.

	Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway locomotives
		Having connected the two centres it adopted the broader name of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway: it connected Liverpool, Manchester, the Lancashire cotton towns and Blackpool in the west with Leeds, Bradford, the Yorkshire woolen towns and Goole in the east.
		In this respect LYR policy was similar to that on the London and Birmingham (see Jack and precise thereof) and Great Northern Railways (see Groves and precise thereof) at about this time.
		Although ubiquitous over all the LYR system, their principal haunts were in Yorkshire between Leeds, Wakefield and Goole, and between Bradford-Huddersfield and Penistone.' Two of these 2-4-0 rebuilds were acquired by I. Boulton of Ashton under Lyne in 1867.

	Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway - Services From Fleetwood & Liverpool - Simplon Postcards
		The first services from Fleetwood to the North of Ireland were started in 1843 by the North Lancashire SN Co. By an Act of 1870, the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (LYR) and the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) obtained powers to run steamers from Fleetwood to Belfast and Londonderry.
		The North Lancashire SN Co owned three paddle steamers at this time, of which the Royal Consort was taken over by the LYR/LNWR joint companies, who retained the fl funnel with a white band for their own ships.
		The LYR was taken over by the LNWR in 1922, which in turn became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1923.

	The Amalgamation of Victorian Railways; or What Followed the Railway Mania
		The Great Northern Railway founded in 1846 was an amalgamation of the London and York and the Direct Northern railways, but did not reach London until 1850, King's Cross Station being opened two years later.
		The Great Eastern Railway began as the Eastern Counties Railway, a motley collection of many small railways in East Anglia, of which the Northern and Eastern was the most important, for it extended the scope of the railway towards Cambridge.
		Although amalgamation was the rule, some lines, like the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, remained independent from 1838, the year it opened, until the second decade of the twentieth century, when it mereged with the the London and North Western Railway.

	CLITHEROE to HELLIFIELD
		Hellifield was just a small hamlet before the railway arrived in the mid 1840's and then grew even more when the line through Settle to Carlisle was built in the early 1870's to such an extent that the railway had become Hellifield's "raison d'etre".
		It's complex of engine sheds and yards and being the junction of the Lancashire and Yorkshire and Midland Railways meant that a large number of employees were required and they had to be housed nearby.
		The term "former glory" has often been used regarding the railway and its rundown locations, but here at Hellifield there is no more apt an expression - this was a very important place just 50 years ago, it is now a graveyard of memories for those that were fortunate to experience its delights.

	Signal Boxes of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway
		The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway introduced block working throughout most if its network during the 1850s, but the signalling at that time would have been simple.
		Interlocking of the signalling and points was completed in 1882 (a remarkable achievement) which caused a large number of boxes to be erected by various contractors throughout the system in that period.
		These cabins were modelled on the Railway Signal Company's boxes, but lacked the decoratively cut bargeboards and also had stove pipes in place of chimneys.

		When the 'Yorkshire Light Railway Syndicate' promoted a scheme to build the North Lindsey Light Railway from Scunthorpe, to Winteringham, with stations named Winterton and Thealby, and West Halton, both the major companies could see that there was a potential riverside outlet for at least some of the products from the expanding Scunthorpe steelworks.
		The Great Central persuaded the NLLR men to extend their railway from Winteringham to Whitton, with their own proposals for further extensions to Burton Stather in one direction and Barton in the other.
		The passenger side of the railway ran for exactly 18 years to the day that the first passengers had been carried the last regular passenger service being withdrawn on 13th July 1925.

		Locally the Manchester, Bury and Rossendale Railway (1843) and the Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington and Colne Extension Railway (1846) soon amalgamated into the East Lancashire Railway.
		On March 1849, a suspicious Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway decided to check these numbers, so at Clifton Junction they chained some timber across the line and blocked it with a train.
		Probably the biggest undertaking by a preserved railway is the development of a complicated signaling system at Bury South signal box.

		Here he designed a number of capable though undistinguished locomotives, before taking a similar position with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1886.
