Description

The Appleby Frodingham Railway Preservation Society is based at Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire. The society owns Locomotives and Rolling Stock but not the railway it runs on. The name comes from the Appleby-Frodingham Steel Company, now known as British Steel Limited Scunthorpe after its buy-out by Greybull Capital. The railway operates entirely within the Steelworks limits over tracks normally used for moving Molten Iron, Steel and Raw Materials. Trains travel between 7 and 15 miles , all within the steelworks.
Occasional excursion trains were run around the Scunthorpe Steel Works site using the works' own locomotives. Then in 1990, steam-hauled passenger trains were run as part of a works anniversary celebration, using a locomotive borrowed from the Rutland Railway Museum. This was popular enough for further events to be planned using locomotive and carriages borrowed from the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. The society now owns several steam and diesel locomotives. On occasions the locomotives, normally used for site operations, have been used on passenger trains.
