Whitby to Scarborough disused railway (Cinder Track) simulated fly-through

The Scarborough & Whitby Railway opened tin 1885, and was operated by the North Eastern Railway (LNER after grouping). Goods traffic on the line ceased in 1964 and to line closed completely in 1965. Most of the trackbed is now used as a bridleway for cycles, pedestrians and horses, known as the "Scarborough to Whitby Rail Trail", or "The Cinder Track". (source: Wikipedia)
Here we trace the course of the former line in a simulated fly-through between the former Whitby West Cliff station and its junction with the York & Scarborough Railway (now National Rail), where trains from Whitby reversed direction to enter Scarborough Central station. Yellow graphics and text denote dismantled lines, closed stations and other features, and pale grey graphics and white text are used for existing track and stations.
