Welcome to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. This page has been put together so that you can find out about the railway and also look out for points of interest along the way.
Tracker Jack and Smut
Now first let’s introduce ourselves. I’m Tracker Jack and my friend here is Smut the Cat. We have been working together on the railway for a few years now and look forward to receiving your letters and pictures. We both hope that you have a very enjoyable visit and will come back again soon.
If you would like to find out more, there are lots of books and videos available in any of the Railway’s shops, or ask any of the Railway staff. You can also be kept up to date about what is happening on the Railway by becoming a member of the Children’s Tracker Club.
Pick up a leaflet from any station.
Happy Steaming!
Jack ‘n’ Smut

Engine Profiles
These are some of the Railway’s resident engines. Keep a look out and see if you can spot them. There are lots of engines to see in the sheds at Grosmont, why not have a look and see!*
Repton – No.30926
Repton was built in 1934 and pulled passenger trains in the south of England. Its name comes from a famous Public School. He originally had 39 brothers and sisters, who were also named after schools.

Donald – No.65894
This is a very special engine. It was built in 1923 to a J27 design and pulled freight trains. Nowadays, Donald is content with pulling passenger trains, which include our very special Whitby trips.

Eric is a real star. He has appeared many times in the YTV series ‘Heartbeat’. Eric was built in 1937 for pulling both passenger and freight trains. He used to make regular appearances across the moors, bringing seaside excursion trains to Whitby.
