LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY STATIONS
All pictures of Lincolnshire railway stations and their various associated accoutrements are shown here, whether ancient or modern, excepting those shown elsewhere (Midland & Great Northern Railway, Edenham & Little Bytham Railway). Lincolnshire is the second largest county in Britain by area but has a population of only just over a million. The largest town is Lincoln at just over 100,000. Therefore, the county, which had quite a dense railway network in times past, boasted many stations but very few of them were very large or very grand, especially as many previously belonged to the Great Northern Railway, which famously spared every expense when it came to building stations.

RIPPINGALE - 1961 - Opened by the Great Northern Railway on its Bourne-Sleaford line in 1872, Rippingale was the third stop from Sleaford. The line lost its passenger services in 1930 and closed to goods in 1964. The site is now a private residence, with one platform intact, a length of track through the platform and behind into the goods yard and a steam loco on the track. What looks like an Iavtt Class 4MT 2-6-0 is shunting in the goods yard in this February 1961 view looking north.
