Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway

The Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway is a heritage line in Falkirk that runs trains pulled by steam engines along restored track through the Scottish landscape. The route includes several stations where you can board and a museum displaying historic locomotives and railway equipment.

The railway began in 1979 when enthusiasts rebuilt and opened this line using sections of track from an older network that once served the coal and industrial areas. The site preserves what remains of that bygone transport system.

The railway reflects Scotland's deep connection to steam travel and industrial heritage, visible in how visitors interact with the restored trains and stations. The site shows how transport shaped daily life and connected communities across the region.

The trains run mostly on weekends and during school holidays, so check ahead to confirm when services are available for your visit. There is parking on-site and the station is accessible by local bus routes, making it easy to reach without a car.

The site includes a detailed model railway layout run by local enthusiasts that shows a miniature version of railway scenes and engineering. This smaller collection offers a different way to appreciate the hobby and history alongside the full-size trains.
