Welcome to the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway
Come and Visit Us
We are the only standard gauge steam railway in Lincolnshire open
to the public.
The East Lincolnshire Railway ran between Boston and Grimsby, via Firsby, Willoughby and
Louth. The East Lincolnshire Railway company was incorporated in 1846, and the line opened
in 1848, whereupon it was leased by the by Great Northern Railway. The Louth to Grimsby
section of the line sadly closed in 1980.
We have now continued our resoration efforts, rebuilt the station and are extending the line towards North Thoresby as well as restoring classic steam locomotives.
