Kirklees Light Railway, which opened in 1991, runs 3.5 miles between Clayton West and Shelley Woodhouse.
The railway runs along the track bed of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway's former branch line, which dates back to 1879.
Passengers who take the scenic journey will see fine views of Emley Moor mast as well as travelling through the ancient woodland of Blacker Wood and the Shelley Woodhouse Tunnel.
The railway trips are very popular with families, particular during holidays when the railway puts on various special locos including Thomas and friends.
