The Barton and Immingham Light Railway was a light railway in North and North East Lincolnshire. It was later absorbed by the Great Central Railway and later, on grouping, it passed to the London and North Eastern Railway. The railway is now mostly closed.
Route
The route was authorised in 1907 as a direct link between Barton-upon-Humber and Immingham Dock. Only the section between Goxhill and Immingham was built and a junction with the Barton Line created.
Passenger services operated for the entire life of the line. When the majority of the line was shut in 1963, a service to Immingham Docks was maintained via Ulceby for a further 3 years until 1966.
The line is still partially open at its southern end to freight traffic for Immingham Dock and nearby industries.
