Steeple Grange Light Railway, Heritage railway in Derbyshire Dales, England.
The narrow-gauge railway extends for 0.62 miles through limestone cuttings, featuring industrial locomotives and rolling stock from former mines and quarries.
The railway operates on the former trackbed of the Killer's Branch from the Cromford and High Peak Railway, which served the region until 1967.
The railway preserves industrial transportation methods by using restored mine vehicles, including manriders that once carried workers underground in Bevercotes Colliery.
Visitors can take a 25-minute round-trip train journey from Steeplehouse Station to Middleton, with volunteer guides sharing information about local railway operations.
The railway maintains several rare locomotives, including ZM32 Horwich, the last of its type purchased by British Railways, and Greenbat, a restored battery locomotive.
