Description
Lincolnshire Railways is a comprehensive guide to the county's railway history. The county's railway network was dominated by two main companies, the Great Central and the Great Northern, with three joint lines adding to the complexity. The Midland Railway also played a significant role, with its lines passing through the county from west to east. The county's railway history is marked by the presence of major junctions, including those at Grantham, Stoke Bank, and Lincoln, which were critical to the movement of goods and passengers. The East Coast Main Line, which passes through the west of the county, includes the famous Mallard, which made its record-breaking run at Stoke Bank. Other important towns and ports, such as Skegness, Grimsby, and Immingham, also had significant railway connections. The county's railway network was not limited to the main lines, with numerous smaller railways and branch lines, including the Immingham Electric Railway and the Alford steam tram. The county's railway heritage is still visible today, with many of its historic stations and lines remaining in use.
