Does anyone know where to find past freight movements

[Zander trains]

I am wondering if there is a way for me to see freight movements that look place multiple years ago. Is anyone able to tell me where I can find them?

How do you mean 'to see freight movements'? To find out information such as paths and timings, or to see photographs?

Is the answer to look at freightmaster?

Freightmaster On line - contents

This is a copy of the Freightmaster Online contents page,
with two important differences:

a) only the Yorkshire and Humberside" locations are available to view

b) those tables that are available are only updated to November 2013, so are completely out of date,
and therefore should only be used to familiarise yourself with how the 'live' tables will look!

Unfortunately, the main selling point of Freightmaster is to provide highly accurate
and up to date current freight timetables and background info.

However, you might be able to find old editions of the printed version of Freightmaster
(which was first published 30 years ago, believe it or not! ) on Ebay.

Alternatively, old freight WTTs can also sometimes appear on Ebay too.

Is any of it archived (other than the old books)?

Post #5 - Mark's suggestion - attached are what I see today on the Bay.
How far back do you seek - 2000s? 1990s? 1980s? 1970s?

There are editions covering 2007 spring, summer and winter, on the Bay now - all "buy it now" option. Also a 2011 edition.

Old Working Time Tables (WTTs) for 'Freight Train Movements' can often be found on the Internet or at model railway shows on booksellers' or some society stands.

Should you ever be in the area, the Vintage Carriages Trust bookshop at Ingrow West station on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway has a selection of secondhand working timetables for sale. You may possibly be able to obtain them by mail order.
