The atmosphere of trainspotting in a long since bulldozed location - Stewton Lane crossing Louth.
Mablethorpe Junction signalbox (signalmen Maurice Evison & Harry Fant) kept us spotters up to
date with inside information on train workings. Class 33 on driver training.

A fine picture of Mablethorpe Junction signalbox and Stewton Lane crossing - mid 60`s


EE type 3 No. D6752 approaching Monks Dyke level crossing on the 1114hrs ( Sunday only) Cleethorpes to Kings Cross train
in mid `60`s. The left hand signal post once controlled the Louth to Bardney branchline. This was lifted in the early 1950`s.

Please note: the photos in this section were all taken with simple single focus cameras
- hence the quality (or lack of it!)

If you have ANY similar photographs of railways in the Louth, Grimsby, Mablethorpe, Skegness areas
I`d be most interested to hear from you at  railpics@hotmail.com
