Lincolnshire Wolds Railway, Heritage railway in East Lindsey, United Kingdom.
The Lincolnshire Wolds Railway operates steam and diesel locomotives on a restored track section between Ludborough station and North Thoresby in East Lindsey.
Originally constructed in 1848 as part of the Great Northern Railway, this line connected Grimsby and Louth until its closure by British Rail in 1970.
Dedicated volunteers maintain and operate the railway, preserving traditional railway practices and sharing knowledge about steam locomotion with new generations.
The railway runs regular services on weekends, offering passengers rides in vintage carriages, access to a station cafe, and a gift shop.
The signal system includes two functional boxes with original mechanisms: Ludborough features an 18-lever McKenzie and Holland frame controlling train movements.
