Halifax

Close to Halifax station the Eureka Children's Museum occupies the old LYR Goods Depot site, with some railway buildings still visible. Since the museum opened in 1992 a MkII coach has acted as a classroom. The coach and a Hunslet diesel shunter were recently refurbished by Northern Rail (at a cost of £30,000) with the shunter being given a main line style livery and fictitious number 02 641. The still open mainline passes behind the trees.
