Fife Heritage Railway

Fife Heritage Railway is a heritage railway operating restored locomotives and vintage carriages on a short track at the site of a former railway yard near Leven. The venue preserves the original buildings and infrastructure from the yard's working days.

The organisation was founded when another railway preservation group ceased operations, and the site was established in the early 1990s at the former marshalling yard. It now preserves locomotives that once worked the freight routes of Fife and surrounding areas.

The railway tells the story of how trains shaped industrial work in this region through its collection of locomotives and carriages that once moved cargo and workers. Visitors can see firsthand what daily transportation looked like generations ago.

Train rides operate throughout the year, though some special events like December holiday trains need to be reserved in advance through their website. The site is easily reached by car and has adequate parking near the entrance.

Many of the locomotives here once worked in freight operations within a short distance of this very location before being retired and brought to the site. This connection to the area's local railway heritage makes it meaningful for those exploring Fife's industrial past.
