Crowle Peatland Railway, Industrial railway museum in Crowle, United Kingdom.
The Crowle Peatland Railway operates on narrow-gauge tracks through the Humberhead Peatlands, displaying industrial locomotives and historical wagons from peat extraction operations.
Dating from the 1890s, the British Moss Litter Company installed tramways across the moors to transport peat, replacing traditional horse-drawn methods with locomotives by the 1950s.
The railway museum demonstrates North Lincolnshire's industrial methods through preserved Schoma locomotives, machinery, and educational exhibits about peat extraction techniques.
Visitors can access the railway museum, workshop, and café on the second weekend of each month from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at The Old Peatworks.
The museum received two original Schoma locomotives in 2015, which operated on these exact tracks during the commercial peat extraction period.
