The Malton to Whitby line was closed in March 1965, although the Malton to Pickering section remained open to freight for a further 12 months. Ironically this section is not part of the present day railway.

In 1967 a group of local people got together and over the next 5 years developed the start of the society that grew into the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
