Midland Railway - Butterley
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Children's Leisure recommends you call the railway before setting off or check their website for train times etc! A Standard Gauge Railway Running Steam and Diesel Hauled Passenger Trains with a Museum Dedicated to the Midland Railway. Most trains depart from Butterley Station heading under the bridge and past the former goods yard. You then pass through a long cutting that eventually opens out into the museum complex. On the right you will see the workshop for the Historic Carriage and Wagon team where many of the old wooden bodied vehicles are restored. Outside there is a large number of vehicles waiting for their turn in the restoration queue. The train then passes under the large signal gantry and you will see more tracks and a view across the museum complex. The very large Swanwick Junction Signal Box is on your right. This was rescued from Kettering and controls train movements around the station..... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
