History

The club's predecessors, Lincoln Moorlands F.C. were established in 1989 and joined the Central Midlands League in the same year. In the 2011–12 season, they are members of the Northern Counties East League Premier Division. They are based at the Moorlands Sports & Social Club on Newark Road.

In the 2006–07 season, Lincoln Moorlands finished in 5th place of the league table, amassing 56 points from their 32 matches. This fell way behind 1st position however, some 26 points back of eventual league winners Parkgate

After merging with Lincoln League side Lincoln Railway F.C., the newly named Lincoln Moorlands Railway were offered the chance to be promoted to the Northern Counties East League Premier Division for the forthcoming 2007–08 season, which they duly accepted. Despite only finishing in 5th place, the promotion came about due to Sutton Town's resignation from the league due to severe financial problems.

The following season, 2007–08, saw the club also benefit from another club's misfortune. They finished in 19th place and would have suffered relegation straight back to Division One; however they were saved when South Normanton Athletic folded. The club also struggled for most of the 2008–09 season, but avoided a bottom two finish.
