The Dore and Chinley Railway was floated independently in 1872, and unsuccessfully, until the Midland took an interest, since it would provide a more direct route, connecting through Chinley into Manchester. The line was authorised in 1884 and work began in 1888. The 21-mile (34 km) line took six years to build. The terrain through Hope Valley and Edale was easy enough by Midland standards, but at each end there were formidable obstacles, negotiated by means of the Totley and Cowbuen Tunnels An ULTRA RARE early guide to this new railway the year after completion - Have not seen one before so DO NOT MISS IT !!!!!!
