	Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway - History
		The line was dismantled beyond Swinden limeworks but the Swinden to Skipton length continued in daily use for the carriage of freight, in fact limeworks products - a situation that prevails up to the present day.
		Following the incorporation of the Skipton Rock Co., the quarry line was widened to 4' 8½" standard gauge and a short spur was provided from the new Skipton to Ilkley line on the east side of Embsay Station into the quarry.
		The proposal was to extend the line to a location known as Stoneacre, near to the village of Draughton, which approximates to the half way point between Embsay and Bolton Abbey.

		The final link of the double track Midland line from Morecambe to Heysham Harbour was opened for passengers on 1 September 1904 although the first recorded sailing the Isle of Man took place from Heysham on 13 August 1904.
		The Heysham to Morecambe line was electrified on 13 April 1908, extended to Lancaster Green Ayre on 8 June 1908 and to Lancaster Castle on 14 September 1908.
		From the closure of the line, Morecambe's importance as a seaside resort diminished and the decline surprised everybody except the rail staff who knew that by truncating the line, Morecambe was effectively severed from the Yorkshire people who had made Morecambe the tourist attraction of the north.

		This is slightly longer than the original 10 1/4in-gauge line due to easing of curves, but still has sharp curves and also wiggles to avoid the stilts of a log flume (or similar) ride and at the rear (on what would otherwise be a straight stretch) a kink to go round a vehicle-turning area.
		Mangapps now has two branches and both were in use, the earlier one to the buffer stops beyond the reconstructed Old Heath station, a run of just over 1/2mile, and the very recent ‘Southminster’ branch of around 2/10ths of a mile.
		Both lines were running with a fare of £1 for the 7 1/4in-gauge and 80p for the tram.
