RIBBLE STEAM RAILWAY
A great day out whatever the weather! The Ribble Steam Railway on Chain Caul Road, Preston, is a family day out in the heart of Lancashire. The railway has been open to the public since September 2005. A visit to the site will not only give you the opportunity to travel along our 1½ mile dock and riverside line, but also access our newly built museum and workshop. The line itself crosses the Preston Marina entrance via a swing bridge, and runs alongside the diverted River Ribble on the site of the former sprawling docklands. To add to the excitement for children and adults they will be able get close to the steam engine and talk to the driver and fireman as well as enjoying an enjoyable journey over the dock swingbridge and alongside the river. The Ribble Steam Railway is run entirely by volunteers and you can visit the workshops to see out latest projects. Our museum building is continually being updated and improved to give visitors a truly interactive look into the fascinating industrial railway history of the North West of England & learn about the History of Preston Dock.
