| Summary : The North Lindsey Light Railway was promoted by the Great Central Railway to exploit iron ore deposits North of Scunthorpe. The first stage, from Frodingham to West Halton was opened in 1906, and extended to Winteringham in 1907 and Whitton in 1910. Passenger traffic was always sparse, but freight traffic was always heavy. Passenger services ended in 1925 and the line from Winteringham to Whitton closed in 1951. |
