Queensbury Homepage


Queensbury tunnel (2501yds) is one of the longest and deepest railway tunnels in England. Queensbury was on the G.N.R line serving the Northern industrial towns of Bradford, Halifax & Keighley. It was built in 1879, passenger services ceased in 1955. A big problem in the tunnel's history was giant icicles forming on cold winter nights. A steam engine used to be parked here overnight to prevent this in later years. The line used to be known as the Alpine route due to its hilly nature.
