Langrick railway station was a station in Langrick, Lincolnshire, England, on the line between Boston and Lincoln.[1]

History

Langrick station opened on 17 October 1848. It closed, along with the Lincolnshire Loop Line on 17 June 1963.[2]

The station had two brick platforms immediately east of the level crossing on Ferry Road. The main building stood at right angles to the platform, with the booking office behind the station masters house which led to a waiting room facing onto the "up" platform. The signal box was sited at the east end of the station.[2]

Accidents and incidents

  • On 8 March 1937, a passenger train, hauled by Ex-GNR Class H4 2-6-0 No. 126, was derailed due to the poor condition of the track.[3]
